Roast

Roasting is the process that transforms raw green beans into coffee we drink. It also gives the coffee its taste aroma, colour and flavour. The roasting process requires a great deal of skill and experience to control the temperature so that the beans do not burn or turn bitter.

During the roasting process the beans lose some of their moisture and grow in size by as much as 55. The beans also begin to release carbon dioxide which causes them expand and crack. This is known as the 1st Crack. The 1st Crack is the point where sugars start to caramelize and the bound water begins to escape. It's also the time that the structure of the bean is broken and allows oils to flow out of their pockets inside the seed. It is an important moment in the roasting process, and If it is not done properly the coffee could be destroyed.

A well-roasted, full-bodied coffee will have an even and smooth profile. It will have minimal sourness and a strong aftertaste preserving the origin character of the bean. This is accomplished by roasting beans until they're medium brown and have lost the majority of their moisture.

Dose and Yield

One gram of coffee ground is used to make one shot of espresso. This means that the ratio of ground coffee to liquid espresso must be less or equal to than 1:2. The exact ratio depends on the density of the beans. Certain coffees are more heavy than others when ground to the same size. This is why a precise scale can be so useful!

The temperature of the brew will determine how you utilize your coffee beans. The ideal range lies between 205-205 degrees Fahrenheit to 195 degrees.

It is always a trade-off between a strong coffee and a rich flavor. The more you extract, the stronger your coffee beans 1kg arabica will be. However this can also increase the chance of bitterness and acidity. You might be enticed by recipes with high yields to compensate. However, when you increase the number of ingredients, you also increase the amount of water that flows through the grinds. This is crucial and could cause more flavour to be lost.

Dose is the most flexible lever of control, but there are many other factors that affect the intensity of your espresso. The most important of these is the ratio, and also your grinder's precision and the dimensions of your portafilter and the speed with the speed at which you push the shot.
