The way in which coffee is roasted can have a profound effect its taste. Roast too quickly at too high a temperature, and you’ll scorch the exterior of the bean. Roast too slowly at too low a temperature, and you’ll sap the bean of its of flavor. Over the years, numerous roasting methods have been developed to address these challenges, all with the same objective: To transfer heat to the coffee bean, initiating a series of chemical reactions that prepare it for consumption. Most roasting methods include the following six phases:
1. Drying Cycle:
This is the first phase of the roasting process, when the temperature of the beans rises to 100 degrees centigrade. Also in this phase, the beans change from a bright green color to a pale yellow.
2. First Crack:
When the beans reach 160 degrees centigrade, complex chemical reactions begin to occur causing a cracking sound.
3. Roast Initiation:
The beans swell to 140 - 160% of their initial size. Elements within the beans begin to caramelize, giving the beans their brown color.
4. Pause:
In this phase, the audible cracking ceases, but the reactions continue. The time of this silence will depend on the amount of heat applied by the roaster.
5. Second Crack:
The progressive dehydration of the beans has made them brittle. As a result, more cracking can be heard. It is at this stage that elements in the bean begin to carbonize, producing the burnt characteristics of extremely dark roasts.
6. Stopping the Roast
Once the optimal amount of roasting time has elapsed, the beans must be cooled quickly. This is usually accomplished by introducing large amounts of cool air or water.

UK retail sales were down 0.9% in July on a like-for-like basis compared with the previous year, meaning sales have now fallen in four of the past five months.
The poor July performance on the high street comes after sales fell 3.9% in June - the sharpest monthly decline since records began.
But the slump did not affect online retailers as internet shopping sales increased to a record £26.5bn in first half of 2008.
Online sales are predicted to account for 44% of all sales by 2020 with £163bn a year spent.
British consumers now spend more than three days a year (1.6 hours a week) shopping online, making it a more popular online activity than banking, listening to the radio and downloading music.
The affect of people turning away from the shops to the computer was highlighted by the The British Retail Consortium (BRC) and KPMG figures.
They show shoppers are tightening the purse strings despite shops offering continued discounts and promotions.
BRC director-general Stephen Robertson said: “Frivolous shopping is off the agenda as most customers concentrate on value and durability and there are few signs the slowdown has yet bottomed out.”
Sales have now fallen in the furniture and floorcoverings sector for six months in a row, amid the weaker property market and squeeze on household incomes.
Joanne Denney-Finch, IGD chief executive, said people are changing their shopping habits to save money.
She said: “Some are shopping more locally, for example, or buying in season. Some are returning to frozen foods. Others are changing their usual brand or outlet.
“We are seeing premium brands strengthen as well as the value end of the market as people sharpen their shopping skills, seeking out the best prices and promotions available to suit their individual needs.”

Convenience
Online stores are usually available 24 hours a day, and many consumers have Internet access both at work and at home. A visit to a conventional retail store requires travel and must take place during business hours.
Searching or browsing an online catalog can be faster than browsing the aisles of a physical store. Consumers with dial-up Internet connections rather than broadband have much longer load times for content-rich web sites and have a considerably slower online shopping experience.
Some consumers prefer interacting with people rather than computers (and vice versa), sometimes because they find computers hard to use. Not all online retailers have succeeded in making their sites easy to use or reliable.
In most cases, merchandise must be shipped to the consumer, introducing a significant delay and potentially uncertainty about whether or not the item was actually in stock at the time of purchase. Bricks-and-clicks stores offer the ability to buy online but pick up in a nearby store. Many stores give the consumer the delivery company’s tracking number for their package when shipped, so they can check its status online and know exactly when it will arrive. For efficiency reasons, online stores generally do not ship products immediately upon receiving an order. Orders are only filled during warehouse operating hours, and there may be a delay of anywhere from a few minutes to a few days to a few weeks before in-stock items are actually packaged and shipped. Many retailers inform customers how long they can expect to wait before receiving a package, and whether or not they generally have a fulfillment backlog. A quick response time is sometimes an important factor in consumers’ choice of merchant. A weakness of online shopping is that, even if a purchase can be made 24 hours a day, the customer must often be at home during normal business hours to accept the delivery. For many professionals this can be difficult, and absence at the time of delivery can result in delays, or in some cases, return of the item to the retailer. Automated delivery booths, such as DHL’s Packstation, have tried to address this problem.
In the event of a problem with the item - it is not what the consumer ordered, or it is not what they expected - consumers are concerned with the ease with which they can return an item for the correct one or for a refund. Consumers may need to contact the retailer, visit the post office and pay return shipping, and then wait for a replacement or refund. Some online companies have more generous return policies to compensate for the traditional advantage of physical stores. For example, the online shoe retailer Zappos.com includes labels for free return shipping, and does not charge a restocking fee, even for returns which are not the result of merchant error. (Note: In the United Kingdom, Online shops are prohibited from charging a restocking fee if the consumer cancels their order in accordance with the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Act 2000.[18])
