Are Coffee Beans Coated With
Butter When Roasting?
"Coffee beans are roasted before being ground."
A green seed is transformed into an aromatic and flavorful bean through roasting. Because of the caramelization of sugar and the use of darkly roasted beans, "the result is a darker and more bitter cup".
Green beans have seed structures that are dense and compact. The coffee undergoes a physical transformation both inside and outside of the roaster, though this transformation is not as dramatic, it changes the physical alterations during the process.
Oxygen exposure is required before beans become oily. Oil is produced as soon as a bean is roasted to the point of cracking the internal shell and releasing CO2. A dark roast will obliterate any lingering notes of these fruits and vegetables.
It is common practice to use clarified butter and sugar as pre-roasting oils when preparing "butter roast" coffee. The husks of the beans turn caramelized during roasting.
The gasification of water occurs as the temperature rises during the roasting process because of the increased pressure inside the beans. Carbon dioxide emissions are primarily to blame for the gas buildup. As the porosity rises, the beans become less dense and more soluble, making them easier to grind and consume.
It is common in Vietnam to add a small amount of sugar and/or salt to Vietnamese green beans before roasting them. Low-temperature roasting for extended periods yields a deep, dark flavor that is not burnt. A slow drip brew is said to produce caramel flavors that are full-bodied, sweet, and well-balanced.
