Coffee beans roasted into sweet bean paste cakes

Coffee bean roasting is an art. Through different roasting degrees and methods, coffee beans can present various flavors and tastes. Among them, the technology centered on roasting coffee beans into sweet bean paste cakes is highly respected. This article will introduce how to roast coffee beans into sweet bean paste cakes, and explore its characteristics and production process.

1. The effect of roasting degree on taste

Before roasting coffee beans into fillings, you first need to determine the desired roasting degree. Different roasting degrees will give coffee different flavor characteristics. Light or medium-light roasting will retain more of the original flavor, while deep or extra-dark roasting will give it a richer, more bitter taste.

For making fillings, medium to dark roaST is generally the most suitable. This way, the coffee beans can retain a certain original flavor while having enough aroma and sweetness to better blend with the bean paste cake.

2. Choice of baking method

In addition to the degree of roasting, the roasting method also affects the final taste. Common roasting methods include traditional fire roasting, airflow hot air oven and rotary drum heating.

The traditional direct contact method of fire can quickly heat the coffee beans to the required temperature and form a uniform and full shell. This method is suitable for beans with thick edges, soft interior and rich moisture.

The airflow method heats the coffee beans evenly through high-temperature air circulation, making the whole process more stable. This method is suitable for those who want higher control accuracy, balanced taste, and dense and smooth fillings.

The rotary drum heating method uses continuous rotation and stirring to ensure that each coffee bean is evenly heated. This method is suitable for situations where you want the beans to have a caramelized aroma on the surface and the internal acidity to be fully developed.

3. Production process

The process of roasting coffee beans into sweet bean paste cakes is relatively simple, but it requires a certain amount of patience and skill.

First, put the selected coffee beans into the roaster and choose the appropriate roasting degree and method according to the desired taste. Then, turn on the roaster to start heating and maintain the appropriate temperature and time to ensure even heating.

During the entire heating process, you should constantly observe the color changes of the coffee beans and adjust them according to your taste requirements. Generally speaking, you can stop heating and take out the coffee beans after the color reaches the desired depth.

Next, wait for the coffee beans to cool to room temperature before proceeding to the next step. Put the completely cooled coffee beans into a blender and blend until they are dense and smooth.

4. Characteristics of sweet bean paste cake

The sweet bean paste cake made by roasting coffee beans into fillings has a unique flavor and taste.

Firstly, because coffee beans themselves have a certain bitterness and rich aroma, they are more diverse than traditional bean paste cakes. Secondly, after being roasted, coffee beans can release more sweetness and blend with other ingredients, making the whole taste more balanced and smooth.

In addition, choosing the appropriate roasting degree and method during the production process can also adjust factors such as the surface color and internal moisture content of the coffee beans, further adding layers to the texture of the filling.

Conclusion

Roasting coffee beans into fillings is a highly technical process that requires patience in maintaining absolute temperature control and constant adjustment to judge changes in taste. By choosing the right roasting degree and method, and paying attention to every step in the production process, the final product can achieve better results.

Sweet bean paste cake is a unique food that not only satisfies people's pursuit of taste and flavor, but also combines the unique flavor of coffee beans with traditional bean paste cake to create a new food experience.
