Coffee Roasting 101: How Roasters Transform The Bean

Turning green coffee beans into complex roasts is an art form. Each coffee bean type has a particular recipe depending on size, moisture content, and flavor profile. Coffee roasting is divided into three phases: the drying phase, which is 80% of the process; the roasting phase, where the essential chemical reactions occur; and, lastly, the cooling phase, where the bean returns to room temperature. Depending on roast times, the final product can be a light, medium, medium-dark, or dark roast.

It's Coffee Brewing time

These key steps make all the difference when brewing coffee. Grinding the correct espresso dosage depends on the size of the basket inside your machine's portafilter. Next, tamp your espresso inside the basket to restrict water flow, forcing the coffee and water to blend under high pressure. Once you've tamped your coffee, pre-infuse the grounds by gently soaking with water, ensuring an even extraction. Quality espresso is traditionally extracted between 25 and 30 seconds.
