Roasted Coffee Color Card
This reference card for roasted coffee color is an inexpensive tool to help determine the degree of roast. It's a visual aid for home roasted coffee, and works best with ground coffee samples. The back of the card has handy reference photos of whole bean coffee, using the SCA roast color number scale, approximate roast temperatures and weight loss percent. *Cards can not be shipped or mailed alone, they must be added to an order.

Judging roast color can be as simple as having a color reference, or vastly more complicated such as using a color analyzing device. We wanted to come up with a low cost color reference card people could use as a standard to compare roasts. Other such reference materials exist printed using more exacting methods ... but they cost tens to hundreds of dollars. We think $3 is better! Our latest version 4.0 now adds Roasted Coffee Weight Loss % to the chart on the back. There's a support page in our Coffee Library that goes into more detail on the card, the pros and cons, as well as a video to explain it's use.
