How To Choose Colorado Coffee Roasters

By Essie Osborn


There are various people who drink coffee. Some will grab it just in order to get a caffeine hit to get through the day. Others may enjoy drinking it but may not necessarily be passionate about it. However if you are someone who is passionate and wants more than just a hit of caffeine then it is worth choosing the best Colorado coffee roasters to suit your needs.

In simple terms a roaster is designed to crush and roast the beans. This then results in the liquid that people then drink. Unlike a filter this is pretty much straight from the bean and unlike the instant freeze dried variety you are getting the freshest taste and this means you get the best possible cup when you pour it out.

For some people they just want something as simple as possible. Often this type of roaster is in effect a pan with a lid and are placed on top of a stove in order to heat the beans. Some systems also use a crank. When using this system you need to remember to stir the beans as this will prevent them burning at the bottom.

The cheaper ones will tend to be a pan with a crank system. In this system the crank is used to crush the beans in order to get the flavour. When using this it is important to remember to stir the beans at the bottom as this will stop them from getting burnt. Burnt beans will impair the flavour and the additional bitterness tends to be very unpleasant!

An automated system will allow you to roast beans a lot easier. Furthermore built in thermostats should ensure that the beans do not get burnt as they are all heated to a consistent level. However the down side is an automated system will often be more expensive than a manually operated system.

Some people may worry about this. There is the fear that if the process is automated there is no way to control it. However a lot of machines also have dials and controls so you can adjust the temperature or pressure as required in order to get the right temperature and quality of coffee that you want.

Another way to maintain control is to be able to watch the process as it happens. If this is a concern for you then look for a design with a clear glass lid. This will allow you to keep an eye out and adjust controls or stir around the beans as necessary. It is better if it is clear glass as it will make it easier to see inside the roaster as it can be harder to see what is going on through darker glass and it may not be advisable to keep opening and closing the lid to check.

It is important to check reviews and feedback before choosing a roaster. This will make it easier to compare the different ones available. Ideally you should also note the kind that friends or family members use. This will make it easier to choose something that is best suited to your own personal requirements.
