The Jeffersonville Township Public Library will present a program on roasting coffee by Ed Needham on Saturday, May 10, at 11:00 a.m.
Needham is a principal therapist for Seven Counties Services, Inc. by vocation, but is a coffee roaster by avocation.
Needham will do a show and tell with green unroasted coffee beans and a few small home-style roasters. Home roasting is the process of roasting small batches of green coffee beans for personal consumption.
Roasting coffee transforms the chemical and physical properties of green coffee beans into roasted coffee products. The roasting process is integral to producing a savory cup of coffee. When roasted, the green coffee bean expands to nearly double its original size, changing in color, taste, smell and density.
Until the 20th century it was more common for at-home coffee drinkers to roast their coffee in their residence than it was to buy roasted coffee.
The program is free to the public.
