Coffee beans undergo different changes during each roasting stage.During the roasting process, green coffee beans will gradually undergo dehydration and turn yellow as water is lost, and then the first crack will become dense. Because the moment the first crack begins, it means that the coffee beans have matured. If we are not ready to stop at this time and still want to continue cooking, then the coffee beans will also experience the second crack and the second crack intensively.
As you can see from the picture, the roasting degree of coffee beans is divided into eight parts, the numbers are from large to small, and the roasting is from light to dark. You can just take a quick look at it. In actual life, we don’t often use it because it is difficult for us to judge the color value of coffee beans and what type of roast they belong to through the naked eye. In addition, the degree of coloring of coffee during roasting will also be affected due to the different sugar content of the coffee skin. If you only rely on color to distinguish, it will easily lead to misunderstandings.
Therefore, this value can only be used as a baking reference for bakers. Generally speaking, if we want to judge the roasting degree of a coffee bean, in addition to the appearance color, we must also combine the shape and taste of the coffee bean to make a conclusion on the roasting degree of the bean, and then simply divide it into: light, medium and dark roasting.
Light roasting refers to beans baked from the middle of the first crack to just after the first crack.

You can taste it in three types of coffee! At this time, because the organic acids in the beans have not been completely decomposed, we can feel the obvious sourness in the coffee, with less bitterness and a very complex and rich aroma.
Medium roast refers to coffee beans that are baked after the first crack ends but before the second crack begins. You can try Front Street Mozart, Front Street Strawberry Candy, and Front Street Cicada. Because these coffee beans undergo more caramelization reactions, the proportion of sourness in the entire cup of coffee will be reduced. Compared with light roasted coffee beans, they have less acidity and a higher sweetness! The complexity of the aroma will increase, which will make other flavors more prominent!
Dark roast refers to beans that are baked after the second crack begins. Because these beans have undergone a large amount of caramelization reaction, the flavor is mainly bitter, with obvious sweetness, high body and full taste. The typical representative is

. The aroma exuded by coffee is more single, mainly chocolate, nuts, and cocoa. It is not as rich and complex as the above-mentioned light roast and medium roast.
