Why Do We Roast Coffee Beans?
Coffee beans are the seeds of the cherries of the coffee tree.
Roasting green coffee results in chemical changes and the development of amazing flavours and aromas.
Roasting causes the beans to
Double in size
Become less dense
Change in colour from green to yellow to brown or even black
Become more acidic
Develop over 1000 aroma compounds
The goal of roasting is to create amazingly fresh coffee for you to enjoy. Its great fun learning about coffee roasting and creating coffee as you love it. Roasting your own coffee beans saves so much money as they are half the price of buying roasted beans.
There are lots of roasters around from industrial to domestic. A home coffee roaster that gives you full control over the roast is a must.
