At The Wood Roaster, we take a unique approach to coffee roasting—one that sets us apart from traditional drum roasting methods. Our custom built roaster is fuelled by wood and uses a unique air roasting technique, delivering a cleaner, more consistent and flavourful coffee experience. But what exactly is air roasting, and why does it matter? Let’s dive in.
What Is Air Roasting?
Air roasting is a method where coffee beans are suspended and roasted by a stream of hot air. Unlike drum roasting, which uses a rotating drum that heats the beans through contact with a hot surface, air roasting ensures even heating and a more controlled roasting process.
Why Air Roasting?
Cleaner Flavour Profile
Traditional drum roasting can lead to uneven roasting and a smoky taste due to chaff (the outer skin of the coffee bean) burning in the drum. Air roasting eliminates this issue, resulting in a purer, cleaner cup of coffee. Additionally, our custom-built roaster is fuelled by wood but the beans never come in direct contact with the flames or smoke, ensuring that no excess smoke influences the delicate flavours of our coffee.
Greater Consistency
Because air roasting relies on hot air circulation rather than direct contact with a heated drum, each bean is roasted uniformly. This consistency ensures that every batch of The Wood Roaster’s coffee delivers the same high-quality flavour profile, free from over- or under-roasted beans.
Better Control Over the Roast
Our custom built roaster is fully temperature controlled, allowing for precise temperature adjustments, making it easier to highlight the unique characteristics of each coffee variety. Whether it’s floral and fruity notes in a light roast or rich, chocolatey depths in a dark roast, air roasting enhances the complexity of the beans.
Lower Environmental Impact
At The Wood Roaster, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Our custom-built roaster is fuelled by wood from sustainable forests, and our roastery is powered by solar energy, reducing our carbon emissions and ensuring we stay aligned with our commitment to reducing environmental impact.
