Discover the art and science behind Roadway Coffee’s perfect cup and how our coffee is roasted. This essential resource delves into the intricate process that transforms green coffee beans into the aromatic, flavorful brew that energizes your mornings.

Roadway Coffee’s roasting process is a meticulous art that transforms green coffee beans into the aromatic, flavorful beans that coffee lovers cherish. Our process begins with selecting high-quality green beans, which are the seeds of the coffee cherry. The roasting process involves applying heat to these beans, causing a series of chemical reactions that develop their unique flavors and aromas. As the beans roast, they undergo various stages, from the initial drying phase to the first crack, where the beans expand and release moisture. Each stage is crucial, as it influences the final taste profile, ranging from fruity and floral to rich and chocolatey. The temperature and duration of the roasting process are critical factors that determine the final product. Light roasts, for instance, are typically roasted for a shorter time at lower temperatures, preserving the beans' original flavors and acidity. In contrast, dark roasts are subjected to higher temperatures for longer periods, resulting in a bolder, more robust flavor with a smoky finish. We have experimented with different profiles to create signature blends that cater to diverse palates. This experimentation is not just about heat; it also involves understanding the origin of the beans, as different regions produce beans with distinct flavor characteristics. Once the roasting is complete, the beans must be cooled rapidly to halt the roasting process and preserve their flavor. This is done using air cooling method. After cooling, the beans are ready for packaging, but not before they undergo a resting period to allow the flavors to stabilize. The final product is a beautifully roasted coffee that can be ground and brewed to create a delightful cup of coffee. Whether enjoyed as a morning ritual or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, Roadway’s freshly roasted coffee offers an experience that is both comforting and invigorating, making it a staple in households and cafes around the world.
