Basic knowledge of roasting of fine coffee

Without the taste of baking, it is impossible to appear in the cup; as for cooking, it is a means to avoid the disadvantages of baking.' This is a view that all coffee experts will agree with, but what happened to the coffee beans during the baking process? What does the so-called first explosion and the second explosion mean? Now let's learn about baking from the beginning.

Why bake your own coffee beans? Because this is the best way to enjoy the freshness of coffee beans! The importance of freshness has been emphasized at the beginning of this book, and if you have ever compared it, you should know how fresh coffee beans make a difference in the flavor of brewed coffee. But is it really just for the freshness of coffee beans to bake yourself? Because there are already many domestic coffee manufacturers offering fresh baked beans (including through the Internet), fresh to wait for you to confirm the order before baking in the pot, usually when you receive it less than 24 hours after the pot! So what attracts us to bake at home?

I think the main reason is that you can create your own unique flavor by baking yourself. In addition, self-baking can greatly reduce the cost of drinking coffee. At present, a pound of roasted high-end coffee beans on the market costs about 350 yuan to 450 yuan (the high-quality coffee beans here refer to fine coffee, not ordinary coffee, which costs as little as 200 yuan 250 yuan per pound). But the price of raw coffee beans per pound is only about 180,250 yuan, and these are still the price of one pound at a time, if you buy more, the price will be even lower! So the cost can be about 1/2 lower than roasted coffee beans, as long as you pay a little more time, which is very cost-effective in either way.

From the cost point of view, self-baking is the best investment for cafes to reduce operating costs, because the amount of coffee beans needed for business is quite large, and when buying raw beans in this quantity, the unit price will naturally be lower. You can recover the cost of the business baking machine in about half a year, and you can also boast fresh self-baking and selling roasted coffee beans at the same time. The guarantee is to kill a few birds with one stone (but only if the coffee beans are roasted well)!

It's easier than you think.

Baking coffee beans can be said to be a simple and difficult thing, because as long as you can turn on the gas stove or plug into a socket, you can already bake coffee beans; it is difficult because it takes a lot of time and experience to bake coffee beans just right. In other words, it's easy to bake coffee beans, but it's not easy to bake coffee beans well. But generally speaking, baking is much easier than you think. In fact, before World War II, the vast majority of coffee beans were roasted at home, and then because of the popularity of large-scale commercial baking, so people gradually forget that roasting coffee beans is actually a very common thing.

In some countries where coffee beans are produced, the coffee served to guests is still freshly baked and brewed to show the host's most sincere welcome. So there is no need to worry that the coffee beans you bake are not good enough, at least, the freshness alone is enough to surpass the products of most brands on the market. As for the other tricks of baking beans can be mastered by practicing a few more times, and through your own baking process, you can quickly find out your own coffee taste, you can rest assured to start! Especially for those who have great enthusiasm for coffee, joining the world of baking is definitely the only way to improve the attainments of coffee!
