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.

    Bold, Smooth and So Good!

    I’ve been experimenting with different coffees and dialing in my espresso at home, and Hot Shot has been such a good one! It has a bold, rich flavor that really comes through in my lattes without tasting overly bitter. I love that I can still taste the coffee even after adding milk and a little sweetness. It makes a really satisfying, full-bodied espresso and has quickly become one of the coffees I look forward to brewing. Definitely a 5-star bag for me! ☕️❤️
