Roasting Style
At Becca's Beans, each coffee is roasted to it’s "sweet spot", then carefully blended. Proportions are based on the different coffees and their job in the blend. Detailed notes are kept on time and temperature, weight loss, and temperature curves. This is a much more time consuming way of roasting, but we feel yields a much more complex, consistent coffee. Coffee roasting is part Science, part Art. You must understand the chemical changes that are happening during the roasting process, should I reduce the flame at this point, increase/decrease airflow, all these things become very important in the final stages of the roast. Only then can the Roastmaster know when to "Drop the Coffee", when to stop the coffee from roasting too far, crossing the line from having an exceptionally delicate flavor and aroma, to a blackened bean. This is how the art of roasting is perfected, for every batch.
