I drink a lot of coffee. At least 20 oz per day. Realized the other morning when walking out of Morning View Coffee Shop that I didn’t really understand the coffee roasting process. I just pour my cup every morning and don’t think much of it. Every once in a while I’ll smell the coffee roasting on highway 158 or pass by the roasting room with all the buckets and bags of beans sitting there and briefly wonder, but for the most part I just enjoy the coffee in liquid form and thats about it. Well, I recently decided it would be fun to bring my camera to Morning View and learn how coffee roasting works and photograph a few of the key steps along the way. Ashley, co-owner and coffee roaster at Morning View Coffee Shop was kind enough to meet me there on her day off and roast a few different kinds of coffee and make a blend of 2 coffees. There’s way more science behind it than I imagined and I now have a greater appreciation for each cup. Here’s a few of the images. Thanks again Ashley.
