Roasting is the art and science that brings the green beans to
life!
|
The
proccess of exposing dry, green coffee beans to heat over a period of time
allows for the development and release of wonderful flavours locked inside. How
long a bean is roasted will effect the degree to which the flavour is developed
or diminished.
The
key to our success is offering coffees at various roasts and our knowledge and
understanding of the beans. This knowledge lets us expertly assist our
customers choosing the bean and roast appropriate to meet their flavour
preferences. |

|
Mild, Light or Cinnamon Roasts
The shortest roasting time and tan or "cinnamon"
color are two facets of mild roasts. The peak of the flavour characteristics
within are developed and released by this roast, preferred by those who would
rather experience the essence of coffee flavour than the intensity or sharpness
of darker roasts. |
| |
Medium, City or American Roasts
Thought to be the best balanced for the development
of the body and acidity of coffees, this roast is moderately longer. Beans
display rich, brown colors as their flavor charged oils caramelize and release
the heart of the coffee characteristics. |
| |
Medium Dark
or Full City Roasts
A deep hearty brew without the loss of any oils to the roasting
process are characteristics of this custom order roast at Central
Perc. |
| |
Dark, High,
or Continental Roasts
A bittersweet tan can be detected with this roast. The aromatic oils
are coming to the surface of the bean and dissipating, leaving more body and
aroma than acidity in the cup. At Central Perc we believe this is the perfect
roast for exquisitely deep brews and espressos alike. |
| |
Italian,
French, and Espresso Roasts
These roasts, known for their characteristic oiliness and blackness,
are used by roasters in their offering of espresso coffee. However, since this
roast ends just short of burning the bean, most of the desired flavor has left
and an unpleasant smoky, bitterness is tasted instead. At Central Perc, we
think burning the bean is unjust and prefer to use the rich, dark roasts
instead. |
