Designing profiles for density and size
This topic covers how to create roasting profiles tailored to bean density and size, ensuring even roast and optimal flavor development.
Denser beans
Density separation (gravity tables)
This topic explains how density separation using gravity tables is applied in coffee milling, why it matters for quality, and how it improves uniformity and market value.
Mapping terroir to sensory outcomes
This topic explains how terroir factors such as soil, altitude, climate, and farming practices translate into sensory outcomes in the cup, and how these links are mapped and understood by producers, roasters, and consumers.
Microclimates and aspect
This topic explains how microclimates and slope aspect influence coffee cultivation, showing how subtle variations in environment shape yield, quality, and terroir expression.
Shade-grown vs full sun systems
This topic explores the differences between shade-grown and full sun coffee cultivation systems, their impact on yield, quality, biodiversity, and long-term sustainability.
Altitude and temperature gradients
This topic explains how altitude and temperature gradients shape coffee growth, yield, and flavor, and why these environmental factors are crucial to terroir and quality expression.
