Light Roast Arabica Coffee Beans

If you weigh by volume, both will have about the same amount.

This is why it is important to work with an established roaster because poorly executed light roasts may be characterized by a strong burnt or bitter taste that can overwhelm the other qualities that are desirable to the coffee.

Washed Coffee

Washed coffee beans are the product of a process referred to as "wet processing". After picking the cherries, they are de-pulped in tanks and then fermented to soften any sticky mucilage that covers them. Then, the beans are dried and cleaned to get rid of any remaining pectin. This is a very popular method for specialty roasters and is a great choice for anyone seeking clean, crisp, acidic flavor profiles with medium amounts of sweetness and body.

Different flavor compounds are produced according to the duration of the fermentation as well as the amount of mucilage left on the seeds. These can have floral, earthy, fruity or some nutty notes. This allows washed-coffees to convey a lot of terroir as well as the typicity of a varietal. This is different from natural processed coffees which produce distinctive flavors due to the pulpy fruit that surrounds the bean.

After the mucilage is removed, the beans are dried by being soaked in large tanks of water (as in the washed method) or spread out on patios or beds raised in the sun, and then turned frequently. This process is repeated until the seeds reach a moisture content between 10-12%.

Roasting is the final stage. As the roasting process occurs, the temperature within the bean will increase, and crackling sounds can be heard. This is the time when vapors begin to penetrate the outer shell of the bean. This is known as the first crack.

After this, the roasted beans are ready to enjoy. Light roasts taste fresh and fruity because they haven't been roasted long enough for the oils to develop. Medium roasts are more bready, with an intense and richer flavor due to the fact that they've been cooked longer, and darker roasts are often very chocolaty or even smoky, depending on how dark they've been roast.
