Overview¶
Coffee roasting transforms green beans into the roasted product through the application of heat, driving a series of chemical reactions — principally the Maillard reaction and caramelisation — that develop the hundreds of volatile and non-volatile compounds responsible for coffee's flavour, aroma, and body. Roast level and roast profile are the two primary levers that determine flavour development outcomes. For comprehensive coverage of roasting science and method, see the linked articles.
