Roasting and it's affects on coffee beans
I recently moved up to a BBQ roaster, which has allowed me to play with roasts more than I did with my Behmore. I've come to realize that temp/time and how they are applied can have a tremendous affect on what comes out of that roaster and finally into your cup. For example, if you elongate the time between cracks, you'll get something totally different than if you run them closer together. Also, if you finish your coffee at say 500 degrees, it tastes different than if you finish it 20 degrees lower. I don't like to finish my coffee over 500 degrees, but sometimes it just gets away from you and shit happens.
Now my wife thinks I'm completely insane, because "it's just coffee", but I am absolutely sure that my palate can distinguish the subtle flavors that come out of different roasts. Then you grind and make an espresso, which tastes different than French Press, which tastes different than Vacuum pot coffee. I'm on the crazy train man!!! |
