While it’s an imperfect way to talk about the “degree of roastDegree of Roast simply means the roast level of a coffee, how dark it has been roasted.: Degree of Roast simply means the roast level of a coffee,... ...more,” let me explain why we chose cracks as reference points for how dark the roast is, and the alternatives. There are several ways to determine the degree of roast. Most professional roasters rely on temperature readings, as well as smell, sight and sound. But temperature readings are relative to how the thermometer is mounted in the roaster, and the quality of the device itself. Good thermometers cost a small fortune, and even among professional roasters there are large differences in readings. Most pros learn to read temperatures relative to their own roaster, and based on experience. I see first crackAn audible popping sound heard during roasting. In coffee, one refers to "first crack" and "second crack," which come from two different classes of chemical reactions.: An audible... ...more occur around 335 f in my 12 kilo Diedrich roaster (which is fairly normal) but second occurs between 350 and 370. That is far too low to indicate the actual bean temperature of second crack, but I have learned to adjust my expectations to these readings. Mounting a thermometer in your roaster might offer you the same advantage: temperature readings relative to your own roaster. But most home roast appliances have the advantage of having the roast occur right in front of you. You can see it, hear it and smell it quite well! So why don’t I talk about degree of roast in terms of color? Isn’t that what the AgtronA machine and a color matching system used for quality analysis generally in the food industry, and specifically in coffee: Agtron spectrophotometers are used in the coffee industry... ...more number system that pros use all about? Yes it is, but it requires either an Agtron photospectrometer to automatically read the color of the roaster, ground coffee. Or you need the $200 SCAA-Agtron Roast Color Tile Kit. I have this kit, and I also have experience in digital color correction …so let me tell you that there’s a lot more involved with “eyeballing” the color of the coffee and the color of the disks. You need balanced white light, no glare, and the ability to offset for textures and light absorption. What I am saying is …it’s so difficult to accurately judge that is barely worth the effort.

But those involve too many intangibles to fully explain. So we are left with the cracks: the first crack which signals the beginning of true pyrolysis* (see Davids book) and the second crack that signals the coffee is entering the darker roast categories. These can be difficult to hear over the sound of the fan in the air roasters. But experience will help you to distinguish the sound of the cracks and to relate it to the bean appearance and aromas.
The basic wisdom is this: no coffee is palatable until it has completed the first crack. The period between the completion of first crack and the beginning of second is a Medium, or City roastCity roast is what we define as the earliest palatable stage that the roast process can be stopped and result in good quality coffee.

Where’s My Damn Cupping Spoon…
Sweet Maria’s successfully moved from our tiny space in Columbus, Ohio to Emeryville, California last month, and indeed, I still can’t find the box that has my cupping spoons in it. If the name Emeryville isn’t familiar, it’s not a small rural town as the name connotes. It is roughly 40 city blocks or so squeezed between the San Francisco Bay, North Oakland, and Berkeley. (We actually lived on 65th Street in Emeryville before moving to Ohio 6 years ago, and now we find ourselves a stone’s throw away on 64th Street!) We are reaping a lot of benefits from being here. We probably received about 75% of our coffee through the port of Oakland when we were in Ohio, and now we can actually go to the cupping rooms of brokers for samples, and to the warehouses for coffee. (Without having to pay .15 to .25 cents per Lb. for trucking the coffee across the land, we will be able to reduce our prices, and have already done so on all the new lots we have received since arriving here!)
Besides being the major U.S. port for high quality coffee, there are scores of coffee brokers and roasters in the Bay Area. The main Specialty brokers here are Holland, Knutsen, Royal, Volcafe and Atlantic, but a lot of the privateers who represent one origin or one farm are storing coffee only in this area …that’s because there are 3 dedicated public coffee warehouses. The Annex is the biggest one and I am sure we will be making trips there a lot. Royal is one of the best brokers out here with a staggering list of coffee, and they lease their own warehouse here …in fact their offices and cupping lab is just a short walk from our place. As far as roasters goes, Peets is about 10 blocks away, McGloughlin is right next door to us, Uncommon Grounds is 5 blocks, Caffe Roma is 2 blocks, Peerless and Mr EspressoA small coffee beverage, about 20 ml, prepared on an espresso machine where pressurized hot water extracted through compressed coffee.: In its most stripped-down, basic form, this is... ...more are down toward the Oakland docks. And on a clear night you can see the giant Hills Brothers sign across the Bay … there is a lot of coffee here.
