What Do You Know About Gourmet Coffee?

Gourmet coffee offers a delicious coffee roast to drink, but there are some interesting facts to know about the roasting process.

When all coffee is roasted, it will shrink or lose weight in the roasting process. This means that if you start out with 1 pound of green unroasted coffee beans, it will not yield 1 pound of roasted coffee after it has been roasted. A lighter roast of coffee will shrink less by around 11%, and a very dark roast of coffee can shrink up to 25%. This just goes to show that a darker coffee roast loses much more weight in the roasting process because it is roasted for a longer period of time.

This longer roasting time will also cause the beans to become darker in color, which is why a longer roasted coffee bean is called a darker roast. Keep in mind that it is important to choose premium gourmet coffee blends because many commercial coffee companies under roast their beans to save money.
