The coffee roasting process is so complex. The taste is affected by so many things. And there are many ways to control the process during the roast: the time, the color, the smell, the bean temperature - and the possibilities are increasing with new technology. This podcast is about all the different approaches in coffee roasting. Its not about one particular way or roast degree. But its walking around the whole coffee roasting landscape. Made by Therese Brøndsted from Denmark. She has a Master degree in Food Science and Sensory evaluation. She has been roasting coffee for 3 years. This is not a conversation podcast, but an edited podcast.
