Coffee roastery AT Buiten roastery

Same coffee different roasts
Quality control when roasting coffee, is important. So lets look at how Quaffee is controlling Quality.
  1. Coffees are put through multiple roasting profiles regularly and then tasted using cupping and traditional brewing methods. This involves taking a single coffee and roasting it 3 to 7 ways and checking while profile tastes the best.
  2. Each time coffee is roasted the profile is logged:
    • Using a profile sheet that is captured
    • Saved in a format where every 15seconds we know the flame level, drum temperature and air flow.
  3. Colour and uniformaty is tested all the way during the roast and once the coffee is cool
  4. After a coffee is roasted it visually inspected, and any beans that produced flaws during roasting removed.
The importance is that if you are going to try and source high quality coffees, you need to respect the grower by making sure your quality of roast, is the highest you can mange, and that is what they are doing at Quaffee.
