Coffee Roast Guide

Roasting is a heat process that turns coffee into the fragrant, dark brown beans we know and love. Roasting brings out the aroma and flavor that is locked inside the green coffee beans.
Beans are stored green, a state in which they can be kept without loss of quality or taste. A green bean has none of the characteristics of a roasted bean - it’s soft and spongy to the bite and smells grassy.

Roasting causes chemical changes to take place as the beans are rapidly brought to very high temperatures. When they reach the peak of perfection, they are quickly cooled to stop the process. Roasted beans smell like coffee, and weigh less because the moisture has been roasted out. They are crunchy to the bite, ready to be ground and brewed.

Once roasted, however, they should be used as quickly as possible before the fresh roast flavor begins to diminish.

Roasting is both an art and a science

It takes years of training to become an expert roaster with the ability to ‘read’ the beans and make decisions with split-second timing. The difference between perfectly roasted coffee and a ruined batch can be a matter of seconds.

Know your roasts

Most roasters have specialized names for their favored roasts and there is very little industry standardization. This can cause some confusion when you’re buying, but in general, roasts fall into one of four color categories - light, medium, medium-dark and dark.

Many consumers assume that the strong, rich flavor of darker roasts indicates a higher level of caffeine, but the truth is that light roasts actually have a slightly higher concentration.

The perfect roast is a personal choice that is sometimes influenced by national preference or geographic location. It’s a good idea to ask before you buy.

Light roasts
Light brown in color, this roast is generally preferred for milder coffee varieties. There will be no oil on the surface of these beans because they are not roasted long enough for the oils to break through to the surface.

Medium roasts
This roast is medium brown in color with a stronger flavor and a non-oily surface. It’s often referred to as the American Roast because it is generally preferred in the United States.

Medium dark roasts
Rich, dark color, this roast has some oil on the surface and with a slight bittersweet aftertaste.

Dark roasts
This roast produces shiny black beans with an oily surface and a pronounced bitterness. The darker the roast, the less acidity will be found in the coffee beverage. Dark roast coffees run from slightly dark to charred, and the names are often used interchangeably - be sure to check your beans before you buy them!

Cortado now has a coffee roasting station

With the increasing number of new generation coffee shops on the island, roasting coffee has become important. Cortado Espresso Bar has contributed to this intense coffee culture by now creating a ‘roasting station’ at its Famagusta branch. Coffees are now available, from various parts of the world, which aim to appeal to all tastes through the cutting-edge roasting techniques. Freshly roasted and grounded world coffees are offered to coffee consumers in different blends and with special packaging.
