Understanding roast levels

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

Light

Light-Medium

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

Medium

Best for: those that enjoy caramelized sugars and a smooth cup.

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.

    A coffee delight!

    Aromatic and spendently blended beans produce a mild but tasty coffee brew. Simply, a winner and also very pleasing to my wife!

    Great coffee (and better as hot!)

    This is one of our favorites so far! My only disappointment is that it's smooth to the point of blandness as cold brew. As hot coffee, though, it's top-notch.

    Nice

    So far I’m enjoying this coffee. I would like a little more fruit forward taste but it’s smooth and drinks. Nice.
