Qianjie-introduction to the baking degree of coffee beans

Baking is nothing more than heating and frying raw beans, but this is always a superficial phenomenon. The ultimate goal is to maximize the baking degree (Degree of Roast) of the characteristics or characteristics of each kind of raw beans, and then stop frying properly. In this way we can give the best quality to each kind of coffee bean.

The baking degree is divided into 8 stages.

As mentioned earlier, the baking degree is divided into 4-32 stages, but in general, it can be divided into 8 stages, which are as follows:

① light baking / cinnamon baking (= light baking)

② medium Bake / High Bake (= medium Bake)

③ City Bake / Deep City Bake (= medium depth Bake)

④ French baking / Italian baking (= deep baking).

What needs to be explained to beginners in advance here is that roasted coffee beans have roughly twice "burst". The so-called "burst" means that the coffee bean shrinks and expands after heating and cracks. The coffee beans will swell due to bursting.

In ① shallow roasting, light roasting is when coffee beans are roasted until the first burst begins; cinnamon roasting is on the way to the first burst.

In ② medium roasting, medium roasting is when the coffee beans are roasted until the end of the first burst, while high roasting is when the wrinkles of the coffee beans begin to stretch and the aroma changes.

In ③ deep roasting, urban roasting refers to the roasting of coffee beans until the second burst period, and deep city roasting refers to the roasting degree of coffee beans until the end of the second burst period.

In ④ deep roasting, French baking is the stage in which coffee beans are still a little brown in black, while Italian baking is the stage in which coffee beans are roasted until the brown disappears and turns completely black.

Knowledge: the strength of sour and bitter taste is not inherently specific. It is baked at a certain degree of baking before it has a specific "certain taste".
