Café de Colombia - BY ROAST (#)

  „Coffee is usually roasted for about 10 to 20 minutes at temperatures ranging from 400ºF to 425ºF. The secret to developing the aroma and flavor of coffee is found in the roasting of the coffee beans. The length of time, as well as temperature of the roast, are crucial in producing a quality cup of coffee, as well as determining which characteristics will be emphasized or muted. If roasting is too short, the oils won't be brought to the surface and the coffee will have a nutty flavor and lack consistency.“

  „This process, called pyrolysis is at the heart of roasting.  It is what produces the flavor and aroma of the coffee we drink.  When the beans are removed from the roaster, they are immediately cooled either by air or water. Roasting is generally performed in the importing countries because freshly roasted beans must reach the consumer as quickly as possible.“

  „illy medium roast coffee is a bit more mild while illy dark roast has a more intense and robust coffee flavor due to a slightly longer roasting time and slightly higher roasting temperature. Some people find the dark roast better for coffee preparations that involve milk, such as cappuccinos and lattes. Both medium and dark roast are suitable for espresso and brewed coffee preparation and the choice is a matter of personal preference.  [ menu  ]“
