Roasting Types Page - National Coffee Association (#)

  „Dark Roasts -- shiny black beans with a oily surface and a pronounced bitterness. The darker the roast, the less acidity will be found in the coffee beverage.  Dark roast coffees run from slightly dark to charred and the names are often used interchangeably which can be very confusing.  Be sure to check your beans before you buy them!“

  „Roasting also develops caramelized or "brown" flavors. The longer you roast, the more acids you break down and the more caramelization you add. The personal touch of the roaster will be balancing acids with caramelization.“

Fresh Cup Magazine

  „A skilled coffee roaster knows exactly what a given roast profile will do to the taste of coffee. Try to connect with some local "artisan" roasting companies. The purpose is to receive (free) training on their roasting machines in exchange for help with packaging the coffee, cleaning and/or repair work.“

CoffeeKid - A Home Roasting Primer

  „Hearthware, happy with the small success their Gourmet model was having, developed their first 3rd generation machine - the Hearthware Precision. The brains of that roaster featured a built in roast profile following the SCAA's recommended roast cycle, and it actively controlled the air volume and heat temperatures. No more "dumb" roasters - they were getting brains now!“
