A Healthier Daily Coffee Ritual
For millions of people, morning coffee is more than just a morning pick-me-up; it’s a daily ritual. At Outer Worlds Coffee, we believe this ritual should support your wellness, not compromise it. Our coffee is roasted in a vacuum-sealed, low-pressure environment. That vacuum changes how heat is transferred, and how the Maillard reaction—the key reaction responsible for browning and flavor—unfolds. This method reduces harmful compounds like acrylamides, while preserving rich, bold flavor in every cup.
If you're looking for acrylamide-free coffee, our roasting science is exactly what you need.
What Are Acrylamides in Coffee?
Acrylamides are chemical byproducts that form when carbohydrate-rich foods, including coffee beans, are heated at high temperatures. They’re a result of the Maillard reaction, the same process that gives coffee its roasted flavor and dark color.
Although acrylamides occur naturally during roasting, they are classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as potential carcinogens. Long-term exposure to elevated acrylamide levels may increase health risks, especially when consumed daily.
Coffee is one of the most common dietary sources of acrylamides, so minimizing them is a critical step toward creating a healthier cup of coffee.
How the Luminary Roast™ Reduces Acrylamides
Traditional roasting methods often rely on open flames and uncontrolled heat, which can trigger temperature spikes and uneven bean development. These conditions make acrylamide formation more likely and harder to manage.
Our proprietary Luminary Roast™ is engineered to prevent this.
Using a flame-free, low-oxygen roasting process, we precisely control temperature and timing to:
- Minimize acrylamide formation
- Optimize the Maillard reaction
- Preserve clean, complex coffee flavor
This is what sets us apart from standard roasters and why Outer Worlds Coffee beans produce a smoother, gentler brew.
Clean Coffee, Backed by Science
At Outer Worlds Coffee, our mission is to create coffee that’s as safe and clean as it is flavorful. Our roasting and production processes are designed to avoid many of the health risks associated with conventional coffee:
- No chemicals: We never use artificial additives or processing agents.
- No flames: Our process avoids the toxic byproducts that flame-based roasting can produce.
- No mold: Our beans are stored and tested in a way that prevents mycotoxin contamination.
Why a Healthier Daily Coffee Ritual Matters
Coffee is a deeply personal part of your day. For many people, it’s the first decision they make each morning and one that’s repeated over a lifetime. That’s why it’s important to choose a bean that aligns with your health.
By eliminating acrylamides and harmful additives from your cup, Outer Worlds Coffee offers a new standard: A morning coffee ritual you can feel good about.
