While roasting, the development time of the beans is important for the end result of your coffee roast. Let’s concrete this topic so your next roast will be as good as you hoped.
Development time
Development time is a term that refers to the period after the onset of the first crack until the end of the roast. Getting the development right will mean your coffee will have balanced acidity, with excellent body and sweetness.
Average time
The average time can vary from one roaster to another. At Giesen Coffee Roasters, we calculate a time of 12 minutes for a normal coffee roast. But what we emphasized before, this depends on several things.
Roast types
While roasting, you can decide which kind of bean flavor you prefer. Therefore, the time of development can be different as well. When you choose the regular colored bean, just after the first crack, the bean is perfect. But you can also choose some dark roasted beans. These are suitable for the Italian- and French coffee roast. Therefore the time will be longer before all the beans are developed the right way. It all depends on preference in taste!
