Pay attention to the changes in sound, color and taste. The above chemical reactions can be judged by listening to the sound, seeing the color and smelling the smell. As the color of coffee beans continues to heat up, the color of coffee beans will change from gray to golden yellow to light brown, then to a trace of reddish brown of oil, and then a large amount of oil will show a dark brown of oil. if it goes on baking, the coffee oil on the bean surface will become dry and dead black. and emit a lot of blue smoke, sandwiched with a scorching smell, this is a warning that is close to the burning point. Prepare to call 119 to help put out the fire. Experienced bakers will choose between light brown to oily dark brown for safety. Coffee beans change from shallow to deep because of changes in caramelization and acidity.

After baking raw beans at more than 200 degrees Celsius, the moisture begins to evaporate, the volume expands by 60%, and the weight is reduced by 10% to 25. Depending on the degree of baking, the deeper the baking, the greater the weight loss. No wonder many operators do not like re-baking to save costs. Another important phenomenon is exhaust. Raw beans release carbon dioxide during baking and will continue to exhaust for 30 days after baking. Interestingly, the emission of carbon dioxide contributes to the preservation of coffee beans, because the oxygen molecules are not easy to invade during the exhaust process, that is to say, the oxidation that destroys the flavor of coffee cannot be carried out, but the exhaust gradually slows down after seven days of baking. Oxygen molecules are easily attached to the bean table, and the flavor of coffee decays quickly, which is an important reason why coffee beans should be used up within a week after opening.

Secret 1: to achieve the highest caramelization-caramelization is an important factor affecting the flavor of coffee, as raw beans absorb a lot of heat when roasting, then there is the first 1st cracking, at this time, the sugar begins to be converted into carbon dioxide, water continues to evaporate, the aroma of coffee will gradually come out and form coffee oil. This pyrolysis reaction can last until the second explosion (2nd cracking), but when the second explosion is completed, the temperature of the bean should be lowered immediately and as soon as possible, so that the highest caramelization can be obtained.

Tip 2: minimum carbonization-in the baking process, some ingredients will also be carbonized, forming a bad bitter substance, so, when the second explosion is completed, stop heating and minimize carbonization at the same time.
