This invention relates to an improved process for dark roasting coffee beans. The improved process comprises the steps of predrying green coffee beans to a moisture content of less than about 10% by weight, roasting the pre-dried beans to a Hunters L-color of from about 12 to about 20, and cooling the roasted beans. The resulting dark roasted beans have a Hunter DELTA L-color of less than about 1.2. The resulting beans are relatively oil-free and very uniformly roasted. Furthermore, these roast beans exhibit less tipping and burning when compared to traditional dark roast coffees. |
