The steps of baking coffee beans are generally divided into four steps.

I often hear of roasting coffee. Do you know the steps and methods of roasting coffee beans? Hougu Coffee teaches you how to roast coffee beans:

It is generally divided into four steps:

1. The choice of raw coffee beans is very important

The choice of raw beans directly determines the final taste of coffee. Without good quality raw beans, it is impossible to drink good coffee. Blending different coffee beans in different proportions may form a better taste than raw beans, but if you want to drink a more pure taste, you should still pay attention to the choice of raw beans.

2. Coffee washing and drying

Peel the coffee beans from the coffee fruit, soak them in water, then dry them on a spacious floor, or use modern equipment to dry them.

3. Coffee roasting

Coffee beans are roasted in a roaster (a large rotary barrel). After 5-7 minutes of high heat, fully dry the residual water in the coffee, at this time the color of the coffee will also change, slowly turn yellow, and you can smell the strong aroma of the coffee.

In a few minutes, you can hear the popping sound of the coffee, at this time, the size of the coffee beans will double, and with the "crackling" sound (similar to the sound of popcorn), the color of the coffee will turn dark brown, but it should be noted that the coffee is not roasted well at this time, there is still a very strong sour taste, and the coffee needs to be roasted.

4. The release of coffee taste

About 15 minutes after baking in the roaster, the taste of the coffee will be fully released (but it also depends on different types of coffee), which also means that the coffee roasting process is over.
