As we
mentioned in the last post that there are different types of roasted beans. The
degree to which beans are roasted plays a vital role in how it would taste.
Basically there are four types of roasted beans which are categorized on the
basis of temperature they are roasted on. Coffee from different countries will never taste the same even if it is roasted on same temperature. That’s the
beauty of coffee.
Different
types of roasts are:
- Light
- Medium
- Medium-Dark
- Dark
 |
| Medium and Dark Roast coffee. |
There is no
such thing as perfect roast! It is a personal choice according to which taste
you like. It is a general misconception that darker the roast the more is
caffeine content in it. Whereas the lighter roast has more caffeine because the
beans stay for less time in the roaster and the longer they stay in the roaster
the more likely they will lose the caffeine content.
Different
roasts results in different tastes and producers have named their roasts differently
but to name a few common ones:
- Light roast
Common roasts are Cinnamon,
American, Half City, and Moderate-Light Roast.
These are Dry in nature.
Have higher acidity and no roast flavor as it stays for very little time in the roaster.
Highest content of caffeine.
- Medium roast
Common roasts are City and Full
City.
These are also Dry in nature.
Has no acidity.
Roast level
is attained to a fewer bit.
- Dark Roast
Common roasts are Italian, Viennese,
and French.
The bean gets more oily and shiny in
nature.
The aroma and flavour of coffee is
clearly evident.
Fun Fact: It takes approximately 42 coffee
beans to make an average serving of espresso!!
