Light Roast Arabica Coffee Beans

Light roast arabica coffee beans are the (relatively) new kid on the block. Light roasts are an artful balance between artisan roasting, multi-origin blends and mixing.

The roasting process produces new sugars and removes some of the natural sugars in the coffee bean. This is why light roasts can be more sweet than dark roasts.

Light Roast

A light roast is coffee that has been lightly-roasted to preserve the natural flavors of the beans. As their name implies, are lighter in body and can be enjoyed by using a variety brew methods, including espresso, drip french presses, drip pour-overs.

There is some truth to the notion that lighter roasts have more caffeine than a darker roast. However this could be confusing because it depends on how you measure your coffee. If you weigh your coffee, a scoop containing a lighter roast will contain more caffeine than one with darker roast (because of its greater mass). If you measure by volume, both will be roughly the same amount of caffeine.

The process of roasting is the most important factor in the perfect light roast.

Medium roast arabica coffee beans are heated for a lesser amount of time and at a lower temperature than dark roasts. The beans are heated to about 385 °, and they begin to pop. (This is called the first crack). The beans will be light brown color and will not have any oil on the surface.

This level of roasting keeps the distinctive aroma and flavor notes of the original coffee bean. This includes floral and fruity aromas and flavors that are typical of the region of origin. Lightly roasted coffee beans possess an acidity that is more vibrant, and a mellower body.

A medium roast can have flavors such as chocolate, caramel, and hints spice depending on the beans used. It's important to note that these flavors will be more subtle in a moderate roast than in a lighter roast, as the beans have been roasted longer.

All varieties of coffee have the same amount of caffeine regardless of roasting level. This is due to the fact that the amount of caffeine in beans is based on their natural levels and the amount of oxygen the beans absorb as they are roasted.

Dark Roast

Dark roast coffee is a variety that has been roasted longer than light roast beans. This allows the coffee to develop an even more complex flavor profile. This produces a coffee with an intense, strong flavor and less acidity when compared to a light-roasted beans. This kind of coffee is ideal for those who prefer a strong cup to start the day.

Dark roasted coffee has a distinct brown color and oily surface, giving its distinctive rich and classic diner style taste. The process of roasting this type of coffee is what makes it so distinct, and it is important to choose a quality bean that has been roasted correctly in order to get the full experience.

If a coffee is dark roasted, it needs to be roasted until the beans begin to crack. This indicates that the beans have been properly roasted and are ready to be brewed. Dark roasted coffee should also have a smooth mouthfeel and a balance between sweet and bitter flavors.

To find the finest dark-roasted coffee, you must focus on beans of high-quality that have been roasted at just the right temperature. This will allow the unique and exotic qualities of the beans to shine through without being overwhelmed by an over-roasted flavor.

Some regions are better in the dark roasting process due to their sweetness while others have a rich complex flavor that can match the intensity.

You should also remember that the darker the roast the higher amount of caffeine you'll get in your coffee. This is because the coffee beans that are roasted are exposed to more heat, which releases more caffeine. Additionally the darker the roast more prominent the bitterness will be.

Washed Coffee

Washed coffee beans have gone through a process known as "wet processing." After the process is completed the cherries, they are pulverized and then soaked in water tanks to soften the sticky mucilage that covers the beans. This is followed by a rinse to remove the remaining pectin, and then drying. This is a very well-liked method among specialty roasters and is it is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for clean, crisp acidic flavors with medium amounts of sweetness and body.

Depending on the length of fermentation and how much mucilage remains on the seeds, various flavors are created. These may have floral, earthy, fruity or some nutty notes. This allows washed coffees to express a great deal of terroir as well as varietal typicity. This is in contrast to natural processed coffees which can develop distinctive flavors due to the pulpy fruit that surrounds the bean.

After the mucilage has been removed and the beans are dried by placing them in large tanks of hot water (as as with the washed method), or by spreading them out on raised beds, patios or terraces, and turning them frequently. This process is repeated until the seeds have a moisture content between 10 and 12%.

The final stage is roasting. When the roasting process is complete, the temperature inside the bean will rise and a cracking sound will be heard. This is the moment the moment that vapors begin to break through the outer wall of the bean. This is referred to as the first crack.

Once this has happened then the beans can be consumed. Light roasts taste fresh and fruity as they have not been roasted long enough for the oils to develop. Medium roasts are more bready and have a richer and deeper flavor, since they've been cooked for a longer period of time. Darker roasts may have a chocolaty or smoky flavor, depending on the degree of roasting.
