The Art of Roasting Coffee: Journey from Bean to Cup
Roasting coffee is a complex art that transforms raw coffee beans into the aromatic, flavorful drink we all love. At Sesso Caffe, we take pride in our traditional roasting methods, perfected over nearly a century.
History of Coffee Roasting
Coffee roasting has its roots in ancient times and has evolved over the centuries. The first mentions of coffee roasting come from the Middle East, where beans were roasted over an open fire. Over the years, coffee roasting techniques have changed, and technological advancements have allowed for more precise control of the roasting process.
Founded in 1926, Sesso Caffe has preserved its traditional methods while incorporating modern techniques to achieve the perfect taste and aroma.
The Extraordinary Roasting Process
Roasting coffee is a process that requires precision and experience. It begins with selecting the best beans. At Sesso Caffe, we carefully select beans from organic plantations in Africa, India, Brazil, and Vietnam. The beans are then roasted, a process that can take from a few to several minutes, depending on the desired flavor profile. Temperature and roasting time control are crucial.
The beans are heated to temperatures ranging from 180 to 250 degrees Celsius, and the entire process is monitored to ensure even roasting and the desired flavor.
Diverse Flavor Profiles
Different roasting levels affect the coffee's flavor profile.
- Light Roast: Retains more acidity and delicate fruity notes.
- Medium Roast: Offers a balanced flavor with hints of caramel and chocolate.
- Dark Roast: Characterized by an intense, deep flavor with notes of dark chocolate and nuts.
At Sesso Caffe, we offer a wide range of coffees that perfectly illustrate these flavor profiles, such as Sesso Brown, Sesso Oro, and Gambilongo Pregiata.
