When buying coffee beans, you will not get any raw seeds anymore. The coffee beans are already roasted so then all you have to do is to steep it or use a coffee making machine such as a French Press to filter out the rich flavor of the roasted beans using hot water. Coffee roasting is the technique that releases the flavor of the coffee beans so then we will not have a hard time making the world-famous drink that many enjoy every morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The art of coffee roasting ensures that the coffee beans will produce that distinctive aroma and flavor that\u2019s present in a cup of coffee. Just reading the term coffee roast will make you imagine the rich aroma of coffee, especially if you really love the drink so much. But the main question that we want to ask you is if you know what \u201clevel\u201d of roasting was done to the coffee beans that you\u2019re using on your French press?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are different levels of coffee roasts, and these all depend on the type of roasting technique done to the beans before being sold to the market. The level of roasting depends on the final product, if the coffee bean got \u201cdark\u201d from roasting, or if got roasted \u201clight\u201d, or just at a \u201cmedium\u201d amount. Dark, medium, light: these are the three main types of coffee roasts that you should remember, which can also be seen in the labels and containers of coffee beans when purchasing one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, you\u2019re going to learn what are the different types of roasting that can be done to coffee beans before it gets sold to the market as the coffee bean that we often prepare on our coffee makers. Take note that each level of roasting can greatly affect the taste of the coffee, as well as other attributes like its acidity. To know more, here are the different coffee roasts and how they taste once prepared to your cup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Light Roast<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The light roast is also known as the \u201cfirst crack\u201d because of the cracking procedure that the coffee beans undergo through when the beans are roasting for a set period of time, but not longer than medium or dark roast. The resulting product is a pale coffee bean that looks dry. The paleness appears light brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But do not mistake the light roast to be less favorable compared to the darker coffee bean roasts. Light roasted coffee beans are known to have a very light body, with a very decent aroma composed of fruity or floral notes, depending on the type of coffee bean used. Basically, the light roast still holds some of the original flavor of the coffee bean when not roasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When making coffee using the light roast, you will notice that it has a light body, does not seem roasted in terms of taste, and is more acidic than the other roast levels. Also, if you check the light roast on the coffee maker once the coffee drink has been served, you will notice the lack of oil on its surface. Oil is present in darker roasts, as oil gets produced when roasting for a longer time than the first crack.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
