Arcaffè

This blend is named after an island in the Tuscan archipelago, located 19 miles from the port of Livorno. It is very balanced, full-bodied with a slight fruitiness and an aroma of spices, along with a pleasant and lasting aftertaste of licorice. Arcaffè uses two specially selected types of Arabica coffee from Brazil that have undergone different processes (washed coffee and natural coffee), as well as two washed Indian coffees: Arabica Plantation A and Robusta Parchment AB. This results in an intense and balanced espresso blend. Arcaffè is a very special coffee roastery from Livorno in Tuscany. Coffee has been roasted here for five generations since the late 19th century.

Degree of roasting

The so-called roasting degree is one of the most important factors when roasting coffee. It measures the different roasting results that can be obtained when roasting coffee. You can influence the degree of roasting by varying the temperature and roasting time. The degree of roasting has a significant influence on the aroma, taste and intended use of the coffee.

By the way, you can measure the degree of roasting either with a colorimeter or by tasting. Roasters usually want to enhance the coffee's inherent flavors and achieve an appropriate degree of roast. Typically, light roasted coffee is more acidic, while dark roasted coffee is more bitter. Fruity flavors are also more common in light roasts, while smoky flavors and roasted aromas are more common in heavily roasted coffee.

Less strongly roasted coffee also tastes fruitier due to the high proportion of the organic compound 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. If coffee beans are roasted for longer, these fruity aromas decompose. At the same time, the number of sulphur compounds increases, resulting in smoky and roasted aromas.

As a rule of thumb, you can assume that a light roast brings out the character of the green coffee better. By the way, it is easier to distinguish light roasted beans from each other than dark ones.
