There’s the Italian Roast coffee that involves roasting the beans on the edge of total incineration. And then there’s French Roast Coffee, characterized by a deep, dark chocolate brown colouring and a slightly syrupy taste. Most lovers of the ubiquitous joe like the Francais kind because its availability as well as for its bittersweet taste.
Despite the name, French roast is not French like chop suey is far from being Chinese. The “French” was added give elegance to the specific roasting style, given the French is the epitome for everything that is classic or stylish. French roast is really nothing more an indication that the beans have actually been roasting to a very dark colour.
Once or Twice but Not Three Times
When roasting as “French,” the beans come out with nary their original taste or taste. Instead, there is a mix of bittersweet taste, caramelized sugar taste, and just a bit smoky aroma. Excellent coffee, according to experienced roasters, should break in full at least once during the roasting process.
These same experts know instantly if the roast is the medium, city, Vienna or full city selection just by checking out the beans during roasting. These mentioned varietiest are considered done right after breaking the first time but before they can break a second time.
A Third Crack Won’t Happen
French Roast Coffee, however, is done only after the 2nd crack when it is minutes away to becoming charcoal, the reason why the beans of this roast look almost black. A third crack is not expected to happen with French roast.
Many expert roasters hesitate to roast their organic coffee beans this way because very or none of the beans’ original flavor ever makes it “alive” enough to keep their former taste.
It is not surprising, therefore, to know that some French roasts are produced from reasonably inferior-quality beans or a mix of various bean types. Even the consistency of the beans are usually destroyed during the French roasting process, making it nearly impossible to impact any flavor, aroma or taste.
Dark Doesn’t Mean More Caffeine
Ironically, French roast varieties are much less potent compared to light or even medium roasts. This has to do with how caffeine becomes crystallized. Medium roasting, for instance, brings out the crystallized caffeine in coffee however this goes away slowly as the fire wears over roasting time. French roast is perfect for Espresso and Espresso-based combinations.
