In the Ranally city rating system, Chicago is ranked 1-AAA, which is the highest ranking of any Midwest city. Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis, and St. Louis are ranked 1-AA. Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis, Kansas City, and Milwaukee are ranked 1-A. For the definition of the Midwest, I use the U.S. Census Bureau's official definition of the region, which is the 12-state region stretching from Ohio on the east to Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota on the west.
In modern ovens there is a significant difference. When an oven has both baking and roasting settings, they are not interchangeable. When in the baking setting, the heat only originates from a bottom element. When set to roasting, the heating elements are both on the top and the bottom.
City Roast. This roast is 1-2 shades darker than the Cinnamon roast and typically carries just as little body. The difference between the City roast and Cinnamon roast are the caramel notes that are present, which is not present in the cinnamon roast. It has a slightly longer roasting time, and some loss of acidity. Most specialty coffee is roasted to this roast level.
