Medium-Dark roast

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 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.

Fun Fact
This roaster was originally named Coffee Klatch for its co-founder Cindy’s memories of her Dutch grandmother and friends’ weekly gathering — or klatch — for coffee and conversation.

    Good coffee but I prefer a bolder roast

    This coffee has a nice flavor. I generally go for darker roasts but I’m enjoying the variety.

    Not worth the price

    Too expensive. I don't like the flavors, however the coffee is quite full and rich.
