The best flavor blueprint in the roaster's mind, through roasting, fully demonstrates the advantages of each bean, which corresponds to a certain roasting state, which is called the “sweet spot.” Wondering how roaster s capture the sweet spot?

What does “sweet spot” mean in coffee?
 

What is the sweet spot? It is the best flavor under a certain roasting degree (time and temperature), which brings satisfaction to the coffee drinker's senses. It may be floral, fruity, cocoa butter, or caramel. Everyone has different preferences. We can also say that the sweet spot is a subjective preference and depending on if the roaster and drinker has the same preferences.

Each coffee bean can express different flavor profiles.
 

Each bean can present different flavors. Different countries and regions will have different flavor tones. Each flavor also has a bakeable breadth, intensity and duration. How to adjust the roasting degree requires countless roasting experiments. For example, maybe the fermented fruit flavor that you like this time only brings out a little, but it is accompanied by a sense of stimulation, then next time, adjust the roasting temperature and time, etc. to strengthen the fermented fruit flavor and soften the sense of stimulation.

In roasting, it is not only temperature and time, but there are many things that need to be considered, such as the strength of heat energy, wind pressure, boiler speed, green bean volume, coffee bean change, smell change, moisture content change, etc. There are different tasting results each time. It is necessary to roast and drink again and again, and find out the direction of the next adjustment, and roast and drink again to see if the adjustment is in line with expectations.

Each roaster has different opinions and presentations on the intensity, persistence and complexity of flavors. Each pot is a good coffee with a unique flavor. It’s as if every pour-over coffee is unique without losing full flavors and sweetness. Finding the sweet spot of coffee is something we love to pursue and share this joyous moment with coffee lovers!
