Well if he cleaned his cooling try he wouldn't have to ruin his fresh roasted coffee by quenching. Then again he is Scottish so maybe he is adding the water to add weight.

Why do you think faster cooling ruins the coffee ? My customers seem happy enough!!

I would like to comment that nations not used to the real taste of coffee do noticeably burn coffee. This is highly culture-independent and trying to convince people in these societies to accept the true taste of lightly-roasted coffee won't simply work. Thus, I won't say that this was "charcoal roasting" to me :)

Moreover, as to spraying with water, water is generally an enemy, however, since you're spraying water lightly and beans are already very hot, droplets will evaporate upon contact.

Which are the nations that are not used to the taste of real coffee? There is a world of difference between dark roast and burnt. I sell 9 pure origin coffees and the dark roasts outsell the light roasts 2 to 1.

I am sorry I meant light French.

Excuse me?!! Turks got the coffee from Arabs thats true, while they were still boiling green beans and drinking coffee soup!!! Turks were first ever to Roast the beans. And Turkish coffee is not roasted anywhere close to being burnt. Its never roasted more than French.

Do you mean to say they have nothing to do with coffee and needed turks to burn it for them and teach them? It's the other way around. The turks got coffee from the Arabs and then they messed it up, and then brought it to the europeans in it's messed up burnt state.

Sure, they drink turkish coffee in cafes in Cairo and Damascus and Beirut, but what do they have to do with Arabic culture?

[matero30]

The Arabs who truly know coffee, such as Najdis and tribes who come from Najd who live in the deserts of Syria and Iraq, NEVER burn their beans and do not at all drink turkish coffee.

They drink..ARABIC COFFEE (duh), which is lightly roasted and brewed in an Arabic coffee pot, more than one actually.

That's why it is called Arabic Coffee, because it is the Arab way of making coffee, as made by...ARABS lol.

[matero30]

In the Arabic countries we drink Turkish coffee? Does that even make sense?

NO, Arabs do not like charcoal burnt coffee and they do not have less sophisticated tasted than Italians.

Espresso brewing on the other hand, when performed correctly, can extract the aromatic compounds that are usually only smelled upon grinding fresh coffee beans, but are usually never attending in the cup (using other extraction methods). It's so good in extracting those aromatics that the slightest amount of charcoal tastes can spoil the whole experience. It also gives us insight into how over-roasting coffee turns a part of the bean into charcoal. Again, this is okay (and desirable) sometimes.
