The very light roasts are worlds apart from the darker ones roasted to Second Crack. Light roast is a very small part of the marked and strange to most coffee drinkers. But many coffee people loves it.
An american coffee roaster was surprised to hear in this podcast that a roast could be stopped before the First Crack is over. In this episode I talk with him about the differences. His names is James Simon. We did kind of a cultural exchange: he tried a light roast on his roaster … and I tried roasting to Second crack.
James Simon has been roasting coffee for 12 years in the family business Almost Heaven Desserts and Coffee in West Virginia, USA.
