How a bean is grown determines its flavor potential, but it's the roasting that brings those flavors out and creates the rich, complex flavors in the coffee that we drink.
Changing the roast level can bring out completely different notes and flavors from a bean, and is just as important to the cup's ultimate profile as the growing and processing.
This book will explore how coffee beans are roasted, both in large-scale operations and by home enthusiasts.
