Green Coffee Beans - These are the beans ready to be roasted. This is how we buy them. As soon
as you make your order we will take our green coffee beans and roast them to your desired level.
Yellow Tan - To get to this level the beans are in the roaster for approximately 8 minutes.
Most of the moisture is gone. They are starting to roast at a faster rate. These beans are not ready to be used for brewing
coffee.
Light Roast - These beans are starting to "crack." Yes, just like pop corn!
At this stage the coffee roasting process could be stopped and the coffee could be brewed. It will generate a very light brew,
not very tasteful. It will be just like brewing "coffee tea."
City Roast- Oh! This is my preferred roasting level for most coffee beans. The beans already had
their first crack and they are almost ready to start "cracking" again for a final second crack. At this level, coffee
flavor and aroma are balanced and very complex. Not too strong, not to light, just right. I recommend this level
if you like to drink your coffee with no cream, sugar, or anything else. Just plain coffee.
Vienna Roast - Another of my favorites!. A great morning coffee. This roasting level occurs
about a minute after the second crack starts. This is a great roast level for small beans. Small beans (16 mm or less)
are usually harder that big coffee beans (17 mm or more). Also this level is good if you like strong coffee by itself
or if you want it with milk, cream or any other flavor.
French Roast- This is the most common espresso roast level. This roasting level occurs about a approximately
3 minutes after the second crack starts. The roast master got to be very careful at this point because the beans
are getting too hot and could be spoiled very easy. It is a very good level to brew flavored and/or iced coffee.
It has a very strong but simple flavor. Personally, I don't like it that much but if you like iced or any flavored coffee
I fully recommend it.
Charcoal - Well, this is not really a coffee roasting level. No roast master will ever spoil coffee
beans this way. As a matter of fact, if the beans get to this level he or she must call 911!
