List Of Familiar Roast Stages
Cinnamon Roast: - Light brown to cinnamon color - Beans are dry (no oil droplets present) - Agtron 53.1 - 58.0 - Internal Bean Temperature - less than 400° F - Roast stopped before first crack is completed - Low body and light acidity American Roast: - Medium light brown color - The beans are still dry - Agtron 48.1 - 53.0 - Internal bean temperature - 400-415° - This is the stage where "first crack" begins - Profile - The acidity brightens and body increases slightly City Roast: - Medium brown - The beans are mostly still dry - Agtron 43.1 - 48.0 - The acidity continues to increase and the body becomes more potent - Internal bean temperature - 415-435° - First crack stage is finished - Profile - 50% of the sugar is caramelized, acidity is developed and the varietal character of a bean can be clearly tasted City +: - A more developed stage of City Roast, well beyond first crack. This roast level definition is from a well-known supplier of green coffee. Full City: - Rich brown color - Beans may show tiny droplets of oil - Agtron 38.1 - 43.0 - Good Balance between sweetness, body and acidity - Internal bean temperature - 435-445° - Just into the first snaps of second crack - Varietal character is present with decreased acidity and slightly bittersweet "roast taste" Full City +: - More developed version of Full City well into second crack. This definition is also from a well-known supplier of green coffee. Vienna Roast: - Moderate dark brown color - Beans have oil on them - Agtron 33.1 - 38.0 - Internal bean temperature - 445-455° - Second crack at or near completion - Acidity muted. Cup quality is bittersweet with heavier body French Roast (some call this Italian and some also call the next stage, Italian): - Dark brown color - Beans covered with oil - Agtron 28.1 - 33.0 - Acids are radically decreased - Internal bean temperature - 455-465° - Subtle nuances are mostly gone. Body dominates with burnt undertones Spanish Roast (some call this Italian and some recognize Italian as another stage just before this one) - Beans are nearly black and oil-covered - Flavor compounds are degraded and charcoal tones are present - Agtron 8.0 - 28.0 - Internal bean temperature - 465-480° - Burnt bitter tones dominate Here is a picture showing what the beans at these roast levels:

I have a friend who roasts over a wood fire. The coffee is good, but is't tough to control the roast since you really can't control the heat very easily.
