Quebec Micro Roaster and Specialty Coffee

Roasting coffee beans is essential in order to obtain a quality espresso. In fact, experts agree that coffee roasting is the action of cooking, heating or roasting the coffee bean in order to transform it so that it is ready to be consumed. Transforming its green bean into roasted coffee bean is the strength of the roaster.

What is the role of the roaster ?

The role of the roaster is to roast the coffee beans to extract the best possible aroma and taste. This involves choosing quality coffee beans, heating them to high temperatures, stirring them regularly for even roasting, and cooling them quickly after roasting. The roaster must also be able to control the roasting time and temperature to achieve the desired results. There are industrial roasters and artisanal roasters.

In the case of LG's coffee, we are a micro roaster based in Quebec City, Canada. Our barista know-how has allowed us to perfect our approach and we are now able to deliver specialty coffee to all Quebecers.

 

How to choose your roaster ?

There are different types of coffee roasters, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to choose the one that best suits your needs and preferences.

• Industrial roasters are generally used in large-scale roasting factories. They are very powerful and can roast large quantities of coffee in a short time, but they are also very expensive and require a large area to set up.

• Craft roasters like Saint-Henri, Nektar roaster, and pista coffee are typically used by professional roasters and coffee enthusiasts alike. They are smaller and less expensive than commercial roasters, and they allow greater flexibility and control over the roasting process. You can often buy their coffee directly from them.

• Home roasters are designed for home use. They are smaller and less expensive than craft roasters, but they may have limited roasting capabilities. However, it makes their beans an even more coveted commodity.

 

Discover your new favorite coffee

There are many different types of coffee, each with their own unique aromas and flavors. It can therefore be difficult to discover your favorite coffee. Here are some suggestions to help you find the coffee that's right for you:

• Taste different types of coffee from different parts of the world. The largest coffee countries are Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Kenya and Nicaragua. Each region produces coffees with unique aromas and flavors. For example, Colombian coffees tend to be sweet and fruity, while Ethiopian coffees have floral and spicy aromas.

• Try different types of roasts: the degree of roasting has an impact on the aromas and flavors of a coffee. Lightly roasted coffees tend to be more fruity and acidulous, while darker roasted coffees tend to be more full-bodied and chocolatey.

• Try different brewing methods: Coffee can be brewed in different ways, such as drip coffee maker for filter coffee, French press, Italian style coffee maker, gooseneck method, etc. Each of these methods can give different results in terms of aroma and flavor.

• Remember to use the correct grind and good quality water to brew your coffee, it will greatly impact the quality of your coffee.
