Coffee roasting is one of the most important factors in the taste and quality of coffee beans. Depending on the ability, perception and experience of each roaster, coffee will smell and taste different. 

Coffee roasting stage from a temperature of 180 – 250 degrees for a period of 18 – 25 minutes. Currently, using machines to roast coffee, the time is shortened to only about 8 minutes. After roasting, the coffee beans expand by about 40 to 60%, but in return, the coffee beans lose 14 to 23% of their weight. During the roasting process, many biological reactions take place. As a result, a variety of substances are formed such as: coffee oil, coffee flavor, unsaturated fat …. and a starch that is converted into sugar and caramel to give the coffee its distinctive color. To keep the aroma of coffee, after roasting, it is necessary to cool it quickly.
