Cradling a centuries-old tradition, Switzerland is the spiritual home of coffee roasting. From the middle of the XNUMXth century, the first fire artisans established themselves in Switzerland and spread their art to the four corners of the country.
True precursors, they elevate roasting to the level of a science in constant innovation. Their refined creations promote Swiss excellence throughout Europe. Guided by their passion, they pass on exceptional know-how from generation to generation. Swiss roasting is quickly becoming renowned for its excellence and technicality. Swiss roasters are considered true pioneers and forerunners in Europe. They develop innovative techniques to enhance the coffee bean.
La roasting is carried out in an artisanal way, in drums traditionally heated with wood. It is a slow process, which can last up to 20 minutes, and meticulous to guarantee perfectly even cooking of each grain, while preserving its aromatic nuances. The beans are constantly stirred and gradually heated to the core, according to a tempo and a temperature curve controlled by the roaster.
This slowness allows the aromas to be fully revealed, whether floral and fruity for a Central American coffee or spicy for an Ethiopian coffee.
The Swiss roaster is a true alchemist, a conductor who directs the ballet of roasting with dexterity and sensitivity.
He has in-depth technological knowledge of the complex chemical reactions that come into play during roasting. But he also combines this expertise with a keen taste sensitivity and experience honed over the years.
It is this subtle alliance between science and art that allows it to reveal the whole soul of coffee, from the selection of green coffee raw to the final infusion. The Swiss roaster is thus a passionate craftsman who puts all his talent at the service of the most accurate and balanced expression of coffee aromas.
Roasting is a precision craft that requires fine adaptation to the specificities of each coffee vintage.
To reveal the unique character of their Organic Espresso, the talented roasters of Café 9|38 have developed tailor-made know-how. Heirs to the tradition of excellence in Swiss roasting, they master all the parameters of this complex process with virtuosity.
By finding the right balance between roasting degree, brewing time and cooling speed, they magnify the aromatic personality of this espresso.
Like a virtuoso, the master roaster precisely orchestrates the roasting curve, raising the heat crescendo to a peak of 220°C to 230°C. It is in this soft setting that it enhances the aromas without ever overpowering them, in perfect balance on the edge. Under the scent of this sweet torpor, the sugars begin to caramelize in a slow reverie, diffusing scents of dark chocolate, milk cocoa and licorice. The acidities, for their part, are delicately rounded, softening the bitterness with touches of toasted hazelnut.
Roasting awakens the oils contained in the beans which give off scents of dried fruits. This skillfully choreographed ballet of fire preserves the intense, fruity and spicy character of coffee, the signature of Organic Espresso.
The other subtlety lies in the expert timing of the passage times, of just a few minutes, the time of one revolution of the drum. The roasting time (flash, medium or dark) has a considerable impact on the aromas of the coffee. Some roasters roast green coffee for between 9 and 12 minutes (they use the flash method) which accentuates the bitterness of the coffee.
The result of this precise brewing process is that the Organic Espresso reveals a nuanced palette, with woody notes and hints of dark chocolate and dried fruit. This aromatic profile is particularly evident in cooking, especially in a Smoked coffee barbecue saucewhere slow roasting preserves these same nuances right up to the baking stage. An invitation to savor the very essence of Swiss terroir, enhanced by time-honored expertise.
Roasting is the key step which will reveal all the aromatic symphony and texture of a coffee. When mastered to perfection by a talented roaster, it offers an explosion of flavors and an incomparable mouth experience. Let's discover the impact of this exceptional know-how on the final tasting of the Organic Espresso from Café 9|38

The heart roasting perfectly revealed the velvety character and full-bodied density of this blend of Arabica and Robusta coffees. It is an espresso that fills the palate and gently caresses it to better surprise it.
After this initial impression of fullness, powerful aromas explode in the mouth.

The entire complex aromatic palette of Organic Espresso is then revealed. A true symphony of flavors that enhances this coffee.
