Question: Can you recommend a medium or dark roasted bean that is as acid-free as possible?
The degree of roasting of coffee determines the direction of sourness and bitterness, and also affects the presentation of the overall flavor.
There is a term in coffee roasting called "first crack". When the coffee beans absorb heat to a certain extent, they can no longer store energy and release the heat by bursting. In layman's terms, it tells you that the coffee beans are ripe. If it comes out of the oven at this time, the coffee will be very sour; if we don't come out of the oven after the "first crack starts", we continue to roast it, and wait until the "crackling" sound is intensive before coming out of the oven. The coffee at this time will be sour and sweet; if it still doesn't come out of the oven, continue to wait until the sound disappears, then the coffee that comes out of the oven will have a bitter taste, and the later the coffee comes out, the stronger the bitter taste.
According to the profession in the industry, it can be divided into eight different roasting levels. However, in order for us to better understand and quickly buy the coffee beans we like, they are generally divided into three types: light roast, medium roast and dark roast.
For those who don’t like sour taste, baristas will recommend giving priority to medium-dark roasts and dark roasts. First of all, when the coffee is roasted darkly, the oil will easily seep out from the bean body to the surface, making it easier to extract. The oil is what we are pursuing when making espresso. Secondly, medium-dark roasted coffee that is properly roasted and brewed has a rich flavor of caramel, dark chocolate and nuts. It is bitter at first and then sweet, and has a mellow and smooth taste, so it is the type of coffee that many people like to drink.
