Steady State developed their first dark roast without sacrificing sweetness that they're known for. We taste a lot of dark chocolate.

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.

    My favorite coffee yet

    This may just be the perfect coffee roast for me. I take my coffee with half and half, no sugar. This coffee is bold enough to stand up to the cream, with an excellent balance and well-rounded taste.
