How does the roasting profile affect my extraction?

-

The roasted coffee bean, on the inside, is similar to a sponge, full of oils and sugars that provide flavor and body to your beverage. Depending on the roasting profile you get, it will be more or less easy to extract.

As roasting progresses, the density of the grain decreases and its volume increases, making it more soluble. This means that the higher the roast, the faster the extractions and the higher the soluble yield.

For this reason we should take into consideration the type of coffee and its roasting profile when creating recipes seeking to obtain the best possible result from this coffee.

If you want to learn much more about specialty coffee, its origin, processing and roasting, we invite you to enroll in our SCA Barista Basic course.
