The Air Roasted Difference
Air roasted coffee is super smooth with none of that harsh acidity. There's no soot. There's no burnt bitterness, you're not trying to hide the taste. When you're air roasting, you're using hot air convection, it floats the beans on a bed of hot air. It's like every bean has been roasted individually.
What is Air Roasting?
Get ready for a deep dive into the captivating world of air roasting. Believe it or not, only 1% of coffee roasters worldwide use this technique. It's that unique! You're probably wondering why this method isn't more widespread, right? Well, it's all about the subtleties of flavor.
Air roasting was introduced by Michael Sivetz, a chemical engineer turned coffee industry innovator, back in the '70s. Tired of the inconsistency and lack of control in traditional roasting methods, Sivetz invented a process to make it all more precise. His approach? Roast coffee beans using heated air.
With this method, the coffee beans are gently lifted on a bed of hot air, roasting away evenly without scorching or burning. Plus, it helps get rid of the bean's chaff (that's coffee speak for skin), which can make coffee taste bitter if not properly removed. And let's be honest, no one wants bitterness spoiling their coffee experience.
So, what you get with air roasting is a fast, even, and meticulous method that puts flavor first. Sounds like a coffee lover's dream.
