The Science of Fresh Roasting

What Happens During Roasting

Green coffee beans transform completely during roasting. Heat removes moisture. Sugars caramelize. Oils develop. Complex chemical reactions create hundreds of flavor compounds.

The roasting process follows precise temperature curves:

• Drying phase: Moisture evaporates
• First crack: Beans expand and pop
• Development: Flavors deepen
• Second crack: Oils surface (dark roasts)

Roast Levels Explained

Freshness: The Game Changer

The Degassing Process

After roasting, coffee releases CO₂ gas. This process affects flavor extraction dramatically.

Timeline:

• 0-24 hours: 40-70% CO₂ escapes
• 2-7 days: Optimal brewing window
• 1-4 weeks: Still good quality
• 30+ days: Flavor decline begins

Peak Freshness Windows

• More porous structure
• Faster degassing

• Bold flavors shine early

Medium Roasts: 3-14 days after roasting

• Balanced development
• Stable flavor window
• Most forgiving timing
• Sweetness develops
