Boss, I need a cup of deep-roasted coffee because I am tired and need caffeine! Is there a contradiction in this sentence? Is it true that there is more caffeine in deep baking? Or you may have had the same kind of beans, but the taste is very different, some taste with a hint of fruit, but some are rich caramel flavor, seemingly simple cup of coffee is actually very learned.

The key to the taste of coffee

Although the variety and handling of coffee will affect the taste of coffee itself, it is far less than the effect of roasting. Just like we cook, the freshness and variety of ingredients are important, but in the end, it depends on our control of the fire. In the baking degree, the biggest range is the huge difference in taste between light roasting and deep roasting, so whenever you are looking for a certain flavor, the first determining factor is the roasting degree of coffee.

Light baking

Light-roasted coffee, as its name implies, is less exposed to heat when baking, heating the ingredients as if we were cooking. In other words, you are forcing the moisture in the coffee beans out of the body of the coffee beans, and the lightly roasted coffee beans are heavier and fuller than the deep-roasted coffee beans because the baking process is relatively short and the loss of water is less than the deep-roasted coffee beans. Also because of the high quality, the coffee itself contains more coffee than deep-roasted coffee beans. Also because the baking time is relatively short, the flavor presented will be more sour or floral aroma. Although you can have many different levels of taste, depending on your taste, you can experience more fruity aromas, but it is not as strong as deep-roasted coffee. The taste of lightly roasted coffee will also be lighter, more inclined to the taste of strong tea.

Deep baking

Deep-roasted coffee beans spend more time in a hot roaster during baking, which allows their water to evaporate completely, resulting in lighter beans. Also because it has been baked for a long time, it contains less caffeine and presents a relatively simple but rich flavor. The level of taste is also slowly simplified according to the longer the baking time. If you prefer the aroma and taste of nuts or caramel, deep-roasted coffee should be your best choice. Or if you like the traditional type of coffee or the thick feeling of hand-made black coffee, deep-roasted beans are recommended.

What kind of coffee suits you?

It varies from person to person, depending on which type of taste you prefer. For example, the editor himself will prefer moderately roasted beans, because the editor will prefer the full-bodied taste of coffee but do not want the taste to become too dead, so he adjusted the baking degree back. This makes the coffee full-bodied and taste to reach my own balance, strong taste but with a little bit of coffee itself, but also can drink the unique smell of beans from different places. But for people who want to increase caffeine so that they can wake up quickly in the morning, the editor will also recommend drinking lightly roasted beans with slightly more caffeine. If you can easily understand what kind of beans are suitable for you, you can make two pots of coffee at a time, one pot is light roasting, one pot is deep roasting, to give yourself the most personal coffee test!
