Many varieties of coffee beans are grown around the world, but the process of preparing coffee is generally the same everywhere. The preparation of the beans, particularly the roasting process, is the primary factor that determines the strength and flavor of the coffee. The roast level of coffee beans is categorized into four color groups—light, medium, medium-dark, and dark. In general, lighter roasts tend to be more acidic, while darker roasts are more bitter.
世界各地種植的咖啡豆種類繁多,但各地的咖啡製作過程大致相同。咖啡豆的製備,尤其是烘焙過程,是決定咖啡濃度和風味的主要因素。咖啡豆的烘焙程度分為四種顏色:淺烘焙、中烘焙、中深烘焙和深烘焙。一般來說,越淺的烘焙往往較酸,而越深的烘焙則較苦。
