Understand Your Beans – To unleash the true potential of your coffee beans, start by understanding their unique characteristics.

Experiment with different roast profiles to discover the sweet spot for each coffee bean variety. Start with a gentle heat at the beginning to preserve delicate flavors, gradually increase the temperature to develop desirable attributes, and end with precision to achieve the desired roast level.

 

Embrace Cupping – Cupping is an essential technique for evaluating the flavor, aroma, and quality of your roasted coffee. Regular cupping sessions allow you to identify subtle variations in taste, make adjustments to your roasting process, and ensure consistency in your final product. Develop a cupping routine to fine-tune your roasts and refine your palate.
