People's perception of sweetness is sensitive, and the things that remind people of sweetness are sugar. On the other hand, people's perception of coffee is bitter and fragrant, and it hardly has anything to do with sweetness. But in coffee, the content of carbohydrates is close to 50%, including sucrose, pectose, mannose, glucose and other natural sweetness that humans can perceive.

The retention and prominence of these sugars is an important key factor in modern roasting. In the past, coffee roasting emphasized deep roasting in order to highlight people's bitter stereotype of coffee, but after the baptism of high-quality waves, the prominence of various flavors in coffee has become an important factor in balancing the quality of a coffee bean.
