  • How should I roast Ecuadorian coffee?

    Ecuadorian coffee is special because it’s grown at different altitudes and in various microclimates. This means the beans can vary in density, so there’s no one-size-fits-all roasting method. For beans from higher altitudes, which are denser, start with a higher charge temperature to make sure the heat penetrates properly. Adjust your roast profile based on the coffee’s unique characteristics to get the best out of it.

  • What is the flavour profile of Ecuadorian coffee?

    Ecuadorian coffee is a bit of a hidden treasure in the world of specialty coffee. Grown in the Andes Mountains, it’s known for its bright acidity, smooth body, and complexity. Think juicy, jam-like flavours with a touch of sweetness, medium acidity, and notes of yellow fruits. If you’re looking for a coffee that’s vibrant and unique, Ecuadorian beans are well worth exploring.

  • Can I roast green coffee beans at home? How?

    Yes, you absolutely can! Roasting green coffee beans at home is easier than you might think. You can use simple tools like a stovetop popcorn maker, an oven, or a home roaster. Start by preheating your equipment, then stir the beans consistently for an even roast. Listen for the cracks—these signal the roast stages, from light to dark. Light roasts bring out fruity, acidic notes, while darker roasts are bolder and richer. Once you hit your ideal roast, cool the beans quickly to lock in the flavour.
