Understanding Coffee Quality: FrontStreet Coffee's Research

FrontStreet Coffee has conducted in-depth research on the key factors that determine coffee quality. We've discovered that coffee quality depends on two essential components:

From an ingredient perspective: The use of high-quality, flawless raw coffee beans

From a technical perspective: Stable and small-batch professional roasting

Why Stable and Small-Batch Professional Roasting?

Let us explain why stable and small-batch professional roasting is crucial through commonly asked customer questions.

Q1: Why small-batch roasting? What problems arise with large-batch roasting?

A1: You may not be aware that the optimal flavor window for roasted coffee beans is only one month. After three months, coffee beans can become moldy, rancid, and potentially produce mycotoxins.

Only true small-batch roasting—roasting only after orders are placed—can ensure consumers receive genuinely fresh coffee. Consider this: a roaster handling over ten pounds at once produces large quantities of beans, such as Panama Geisha. How can such volume be sold within days? Only small-scale, refined roasting allows you to truly experience perfect coffee flavors.

Q2: Can you really roast fresh for just one pound?

A2: Our physical store is located at No. 10, Bao'an Qianjie, Dongshankou, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou. You can visit and wait half an hour while we roast fresh for you immediately.

Q3: You roast fresh for half a pound orders. How many batches can a roaster complete in a day?

Why are your prices still so reasonable? It seems impossible just considering labor costs?

A3: That's an excellent question!

If a professional roaster works eight hours non-stop, roasting 16 batches of coffee beans daily with a daily wage of 3,000 yuan, the labor cost for just one pound of coffee would be around 375 yuan. If this were truly the case, costs would be unsustainable. HOWEVER! Our shop roasts in half-pound batches, with our roaster continuously on-site. Each coffee variety undergoes curve adjustments by our roaster, with data stored in our computer system. Combined with computerized stability controls, we achieve true professional roasting standards. While loading and unloading beans still requires traditional manual labor, we effectively control costs, allowing customers to truly enjoy professional coffee roasting.

Q4: Can you really achieve 17 levels of flavor fine-tuning? How does customized roasting work?

A4: Actually, we could achieve 34 levels if needed. Through practical cupping analysis, we've found that approximately 2°C temperature differences are sufficient to alter coffee bean flavors. The main flavor characteristics are determined between 185-220°C. We established 17 levels, with each level representing approximately 2°C intervals—the minimum difference detectable by consumers. We must emphasize that different beans require different roasting curves to delicately express various coffee flavors. The 17 levels are simply graded from 1-9, with 0.5 as each interval, where level 5 represents medium roast. This provides an easy way for consumers to customize roasting and fine-tune flavors.

Q5: How is the default roasting level defined? Is it the best-tasting roast level?

A5: For each coffee variety, the default roasting level is determined through a process: our roaster first conducts an initial test roast after receiving the raw beans, then performs cupping, adjusts the roast, cups again, and repeats this cycle until the final curve and default roasting point are established. Frankly, our beans receive excellent reviews not because we're extraordinary, but because we work diligently at adjustments. Thanks to our one-pound fresh-roast model, each bean variety undergoes at least two fine-tuning sessions before listing, which is how FrontStreet Coffee can present coffee flavors at a higher quality level. Consider this: can the first batch from a five-kilogram roaster really taste perfect? I believe that's impossible—what you'd be drinking would likely be the first "guinea pig" batch. Regarding flavor, we must emphasize that FrontStreet Coffee absolutely respects customer preferences. The default roast is FrontStreet Coffee's recommended roast point for optimal flavor expression, which does include some subjective factors.

For example: Rich flavor is prioritized over body, smoothness over intense acidity, and other subjective preferences. However, customers can adjust according to their preferences—reduce acidity by increasing roast level, or enhance acidity by decreasing roast level.

Fresh Roasted Coffee Bean Brand Recommendations

FrontStreet Coffee's single-origin fresh roasted coffee beans—such as Yirgacheffe Coffee, Kenya AA Coffee, and Panama "Flower Butterfly" Coffee—offer comprehensive guarantees in both brand and quality, suitable for various brewing methods. More importantly, they provide exceptional value. A half-pound (227g) package costs only 80-90 yuan. Calculating at 15g per pour-over cup, one package can make 15 cups of coffee, with each single-origin cup costing only about 6 yuan. Compared to café prices that often run dozens of yuan per cup, this represents extraordinary value.
