What Is Overdevelopment in Coffee Roasting?
Definition
A condition in which roast-derived character exceeds the intended balance for the coffee and target product.
Why it matters
Recognizing the defect helps separate green-coffee limitations, heat-transfer problems and profile errors.
How it is measured or recognized
Inspect a representative cooled sample under consistent light, then confirm impact through blind cupping.
