We reach light roast when the bean is heated to 385°F, the “first crack”, an audible sound of the moisture evaporating. Cracks form in the endosperm while the chaff expands—now 20 microns wide. Now the bean is light brown due to the Maillard reaction, and flavors emerge. 4/11

As the roast reaches 435°F, the bean hits medium roast. The structure becomes even more porous as the exterior darkens further. The chaff gets thicker, now at 25 microns. Flavors emerge more prominently with caramelization and a balance of acidity and sweetness 😋 5/11

The bean reaches “second crack” at 445°F, then dark roast at 465°F. It's now darker, further expanded, and of low density. The structure is very porous and brittle, and the chaff has puffed up. The flavor has reduced acidity and more bitterness. 6/11
