The renowned Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) promotes the use of caramelization analysis values (Agtron number) measured by infrared to determine roast degree. The values range from 0 to 100, where higher numbers indicate lower caramelization, grayish-white color, and lighter roasting. Conversely, lower values represent higher caramelization, dark shiny color, and deeper roasting. For example, FrontStreet Coffee's washed Yirgacheffe Wolka is a light roast, while FrontStreet Coffee's Golden Mandheling is a dark roast.
