Coffee as an ingredient in the kitchen: practical tips

Delicious dishes using coffee as an ingredient are becoming increasingly popular.Of course, the taste that coffee brings to dishes depends both on the variety (Arabica and Robusta), origin (countries of origin), and roasting.

Especially the latter is to be taken into account since a lighter roasting (done at lower temperatures) produces a lighter-colored but more acidic-tasting coffee, while a more "pushing" roasting (accomplished at higher temperatures) provides a darker coffee with a more bitter flavor.

Therefore, those who are going to cook dishes that contain coffee as an ingredient should consider these characteristics given by roasting when creating pairings with the other elements of the dish.
