Roasting Guide

Everyone knows their favorite coffee roast. In fact, perhaps above all other coffee subcategories (region, process, coffee tasting notes), roast level may be the descriptor that people use to share their coffee preference the most. But how can you really tell what roast level a coffee is, or what it says about the coffee? The first cue is visual. And while specific tasting notes, like chocolate or stone fruit, are most tightly aligned with the coffee’s origin, roast level still affects flavor. Below we’ve outlined the spectrum of coffee roasts:

Under-Roasted

Coffee beans are pale green in color with a raw, grassy aroma and taste. The flavor profile and body of under-roasted coffee is considerably weak.

Light Roast

Coffee beans are pale green in color with a raw, grassy aroma and taste. The flavor profile and body of under-roasted coffee is considerably weak.

Medium Roast

Coffee beans are pale green in color with a raw, grassy aroma and taste. The flavor profile and body of under-roasted coffee is considerably weak.

Dark Roast

Coffee beans are pale green in color with a raw, grassy aroma and taste. The flavor profile and body of under-roasted coffee is considerably weak.

Extra Dark Roast

Coffee beans are pale green in color with a raw, grassy aroma and taste. The flavor profile and body of under-roasted coffee is considerably weak.
