Coffee roasting
Coffee roasting is the process of heating green coffee beans to transform them into the aromatic brown beans used to brew coffee. This process involves carefully controlling temperature and time to develop the beans' flavor, aroma, and color. As beans roast, they undergo chemical changes that create complex flavors, with lighter roasts typically having more acidity and brightness, while darker roasts become bolder and richer. The roast level can significantly influence the taste of the final coffee. Once roasted, the beans are cooled, packaged, and ready for grinding and brewing.
