Experience the Difference with Fluid Bed Coffee!
What is the Fluid Bed Roasting process and why we use it?
​
Have you ever had a cup of coffee leave you with an unpleasant, burnt or bitter
taste? Contrary to popular belief that’s not the caffeine you are tasting. We usually
attribute this unpleasant taste to a particular coffee brand or roast level. Unfortunately in many
cases, it’s simply the conventional drum roasting equipment causing the undesirable
flavors.
​
Most conventional drum roasters today introduce hot air into their roast chamber,
then the beans tumble and touch the hot surfaces to roast. This process can cause
the coffee beans to burn, giving them an uneven roast and undesirable flavor.
​
The major difference between conventional drum and fluid bed roasting is simple.
The fluid bed system levitates the beans on a fluidized bed of hot air, keeping the
beans moving and not scorching. The sole use of hot air greatly increases the rate of
heat transference to the beans, creating a cleaner more aromatic roast, free of bitter
tasting tars.
​
At Copper Horizon Coffee, we are passionate about bringing the freshest and best tasting coffee to your cup. We specialize in the roasting of specialty grade coffees, taking care to give each one the attention it deserves. Our roasting process highlights the unique characteristics of each coffee, which is why we use a fluid bed roaster. This helps give our coffee an intensely aromatic, cleaner taste and helps propel the natural sweetness of the coffee, thus giving you a better cup regardless of how you brew it.
​
Our coffee is sourced from the highest quality beans and is roasted using the fluid bed roasting process. We prefer this method over the traditional drum method as it produces a more uniform roast, giving the coffee a consistent flavor profile. You'll experience a more savory, palatable and full-flavored boldness without any of the harsh bitterness. Additionally, one other major benefit of fluid bed roasted coffee is the mere fact that it makes black coffee more enjoyable. Our roast will bring out the full flavor of the beans and make a truly delightful cup of coffee.
