Coffee roasting is a chemical process by which aromatics acids and other flavor components are either created, balanced or altered in a way that should augment the flavor, acidity after taste and body of the coffee as desired by the roaster.

Medium roasts are achieved by roasting at temperatures that range between 210°C and 230°C. On the darker spectrum of the medium roasts, there will be a second ‘crack’ or audible popping sound which indicates an optimal roast has been reached.
Medium roasted beans balance body and flavor. They are medium brown in color and have less caffeine than lighter roasts.
Dark roasts are achieved by roasting at temperatures that ranges between 230°C and 250°C. They usually go beyond the second crack.
Dark roasts have a fuller body and a smokier taste. They are almost black in color and contain less caffeine than medium and light roasts.
