Don't Burn Your Tongue

In prior posts, it was pointed out that coffee trees like good drainage. Volcanic soil is perfect for this and it tends to be found at elevations coffee like, so that’s a perfect match. Volcanic ranges tend to hang around the equator where sunlight is pretty even, and that’s perfect too.

Resting, Or Degassing Roasted Coffee
Posted by The Coffee Project on
There are two reasons to not just going straight from the roaster into the grinder. First is about degassing, the second is more about taste.
How do I roast this?

You should for sure reach the First Crack. Less then that will still have some grain-like tastes... As you keep going the sugars in the coffee will begin to caramelize like Cracker Jacks or Creme Brule. As you go further you trade the sweetness and varietal nature of the coffee...
