- The higher the density of the coffee beans, the higher its quality. Density in coffee is very important in roasting. When a coffee bean has higher density, the more it can withstand the darker roast.
- Coffee beans develop a higher density when the beans are planted at higher elevation. The higher elevation slows down the growth of the beans thus making it more dense and producing more flavor. The warm temperature during the days and the cooler temperature during the nights play part in the density of the coffee beans.
