White Coffee

White coffee beans generally have a higher caffeine content than their darker roasted counterparts. Roasting causes some of the caffeine to break down, so white coffee can be significantly more caffeinated.

White coffee beans have a very different flavor profile compared to fully roasted beans. They tend to be more acidic and have a grassy or herbal taste. The white roasting prevents the development of the characteristic coffee flavors and aromas we associate with a dark-roasted bean.

**Please Note** 

Grinding under-roasted or lightly roasted coffee beans, sometimes referred to as "white coffee" or "green coffee," can have a few specific effects on your coffee grinder:

1. Increased Wear and Tear: White coffee beans are typically harder and denser than fully-roasted coffee beans. Grinding these harder beans can put more stress on the burrs or blades of your coffee grinder, potentially causing faster wear and tear. The harder beans may also generate more heat during grinding, which could further contribute to wear.

2. Dullness: The hardness of white coffee beans can dull the grinder's burrs or blades more quickly than grinding roasted beans. Dull burrs or blades can lead to uneven and inconsistent grinding, affecting the quality of the coffee grounds produced.

3. Residue Buildup: White coffee beans may leave more residue or oils in your grinder, as they don't undergo the same roasting process that can break down some of the oils and solids found in roasted beans. Over time, this residue can accumulate and affect the grinder's performance and cleanliness.
