I believe everyone knows that in order to effectively release the flavor and aroma of coffee beans, they must be roasted at high temperatures, and the roasting degree suitable for the coffee must be selected based on the characteristics of the green beans. Sometimes even the same beans may produce completely different coffee flavors due to differences in the degree of roasting. It is worth noting that you cannot create a flavor that is not found in this coffee just by roasting or brewing it (unless you add spices to the roast), but you can amplify or reduce certain flavor characteristics through roasting.
There are many varieties of Arabica, each with different aroma expressions. The lighter the roasting degree, the more "natural flavor" the coffee will have and the more obvious the acidity will be; conversely, the darker the roasting coffee, the more caramelization reaction will be experienced, and the roasted flavor and bitterness will be replaced.
For many people, especially young people, they are born with a fear of bitterness. Therefore, compared to dark roasted coffee with burnt aroma, they will prefer light roasted or medium light roasted coffee. The flavor of this type of coffee focuses on the characteristics of floral aroma, sweet and sour fruit, and light taste. The disadvantage is that if you buy a light roasted coffee with a mediocre aroma, it will usually have a low body, a thin body, and no aftertaste. Therefore, if we want to buy delicious light roasted coffee, we must put some thought into it when purchasing:
First choose a coffee brand with credibility and quality assurance
