At Royal New York, we’re happy to provide roasting guidance. We strive to help any roaster who is new to the industry or new to roasting a certain coffee. Check out our roast profile for Central and South America below. This region produces a wide range of coffees. Coffee grown in the Americas ranges from mild and sweet to tropical and exotic. Depending on the coffee you are starting with, and the flavor profile you are trying to develop, there is a range of profiles suitable to use.
Note that these tests were completed using a Diedrich IR-5 roaster. We considered 7:30 “Quick” to 1st Crack and 9:00 “slow. ”Short” roasts are 9:00 and under, “Long” roasts are 12:00 and above.
Medium Roast – Mild Roast Profile
Roasting Guidance
We suggest using medium heat application, adjusting to hit first crack at slightly longer than average timing, and ending the roast at a medium-dark temperature.
Flavor Profile
This roast will produce coffee that is sweet and mellow. The coffee will be medium bodied, with light acidity, and smooth, lingering sweetness.
Altering the Roast
For more body and roast character, maintain a higher heat application through first crack for a fully dark roast. For more acidity, reach first crack more quickly and end the roast at a lighter temperature with less development.
Blend & Brew
These coffees are great on their own as single-origin offerings or as the middle flavor note in an espresso blend or as part of a breakfast blend with another sweet and tart coffee. Brew using a V60 for balanced body, sweetness and acidity.

Roasting Guidance
