Infrared roasted coffee, as we produce at Toomer’s Coffee Roasters, uses infrared technology to roast coffee. This method differs from traditional coffee roasting methods, such as drum roasting or air roasting, which typically use conduction or convection heat. In infrared roasting, infrared radiation is used to heat the coffee beans directly.
Here are some potential characteristics and benefits associated with Toomer’s Infrared Roasted Coffee:
- Even Roasting: Infrared roasting can provide a more even and controlled roast because the heat is applied directly to the coffee beans. This can result in a consistent flavor and aroma in the coffee.
- Energy Efficiency: Infrared roasting is often considered more energy-efficient than traditional roasting methods because it can heat the beans more quickly and efficiently.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: The energy efficiency of infrared roasting can also lead to a lower environmental impact, as it may produce fewer emissions and consume less energy.
- Customization: Some coffee roasters using infrared technology may have more precise control over the roasting process. This allows them to fine-tune the roast to highlight specific flavor profiles of different coffee beans.
- Freshness: Infrared roasting can help preserve the freshness of coffee beans, as the process is typically faster and involves less exposure to oxygen, which can cause beans to go stale.
- Unique Flavor Profiles: Infrared-roasted coffee may have unique flavor characteristics that are different from coffee roasted using other methods. The specific flavor profiles can vary depending on the roaster’s techniques and the beans used.
It’s worth noting that the flavor and characteristics of coffee can also be influenced by factors like the origin of the beans, the roast level, and the brewing method. At Toomer’s Coffee Roasters we take great professional pride in our unique sourcing and multi-lateral processing in our roasting that coaxes the remarkable nature out of every coffee whether from Africa or Central America or the Pacific Rim.
