Coffee roasting is a fiery dance that transforms green beans into coffee as we know it. At 400°F, sugars and carbohydrates inside the green bean caramelize in a chemical reaction called pyrolysis that creates over 800 volatile, water soluble “coffee oils” giving a cup of coffee 100% of its taste. Coffee is twice as complex as the finest red wine. Degree of roast is a function of the internal temperature of the bean achieved during roasting - 450°F (a light roast) to 470°F (a dark roast).
