<h2>The Art and Science of Coffee Roasting</h2><p>At The Roast Architect, we believe that coffee roasting is both an art and a science. Each batch of beans undergoes a precise process to bring out its unique flavors and aromas. Understanding this process can help you appreciate your coffee even more.</p><figure id="figure-atqubvnglflwa2g4it"><img id="atqubvnglflwa2g4it" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1524350876685-274059332603?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxM3x8Y29mZmVlJTIwYmVhbnN8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzE1OTEzMjU0fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="coffee beans" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1524350876685-274059332603?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxM3x8Y29mZmVlJTIwYmVhbnN8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzE1OTEzMjU0fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><p>During the drying stage, beans lose moisture. This is crucial for even roasting. Next, in the browning stage, the beans start to change color and develop complex flavors. Finally, the development phase brings out the desired roast profile.</p><figure id="figure-kz0i9x5wgdblwa2g5jq"><img id="kz0i9x5wgdblwa2g5jq" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1520516472218-ed48f8ff3271?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyNXx8Y29mZmVlJTIwcm9hc3RlcnxlbnwwfHx8fDE3MTU5MTMyNTV8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="coffee roaster" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1520516472218-ed48f8ff3271?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyNXx8Y29mZmVlJTIwcm9hc3RlcnxlbnwwfHx8fDE3MTU5MTMyNTV8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><p>Each type of bean requires a different temperature profile. Factors like bean origin, size, and moisture content all play a role. By understanding these variables, roasters can create a roast that highlights the beans' best qualities.</p><h3>The Importance of Timing</h3><p>Timing is another critical aspect of coffee roasting. Roasters must carefully time each stage of the process to avoid over or under-roasting. The timing affects the beans' flavor, aroma, and overall quality.</p><figure id="figure-qshyd6s0yglwa2g71b"><img id="qshyd6s0yglwa2g71b" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1528697203043-733dafdaa316?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyNnx8Y29mZmVlJTIwdGltZXJ8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzE1OTEzMjU3fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="coffee timer" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1528697203043-733dafdaa316?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyNnx8Y29mZmVlJTIwdGltZXJ8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzE1OTEzMjU3fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><p>aroma to determine the beans' progress.</p><h3>Experimentation and Mastery</h3><p>Roasting coffee is not just about following a set formula.
