This rich, toasty coffee stands in for a fix of your favorite dark chocolate. We also taste roasted almonds and caramel; a bouquet of comforting flavors.

Understanding roast levels

Roast level affects both flavor and body. Here's what to expect from each.

Light

Best for: those that prize delicate flavors and a tea-like feel above intensity.

Light-Medium

Best for: those that enjoy juicy acidity and gently caramelized sugars.

Medium

Best for: those that enjoy balance and classic flavors like cocoa and nuts.

Medium-Dark

Best for: those looking for classic coffee flavors with a kiss of roast.

Dark

Best for: those that love intense, smoky flavor and a full body above all else.

Trade Tip

Roasters don’t always agree on roast level — one roaster’s dark might look the same as another’s medium. We taste and assign every coffee our own roast level, so your matches stay consistent no matter who roasted them.

    Great flavor and full of rich notes!

    This coffee never disappoints — every order is consistently excellent. It's rich and syrupy, with a body that holds up beautifully whether you're pulling espresso or doing a pour over. I tested both methods, and it opens up nicely either way, revealing more of its sweetness and depth as it cools.

    What stands out most is the balance: it's bold without tipping into bitterness, and the syrupy mouthfeel carries through the whole cup rather than fading halfway. If you're someone who brews multiple ways depending on mood or time of day, this bean is versatile enough to shine in either.

    Highly recommend for anyone who wants a reliable, full-bodied cup that performs well across brew methods.
