Flavor Profiles & Tasting Notes
The preferred roast level of coffee can vary widely based on personal taste, regional preferences, and the brewing method used. However, here are some general trends:
Medium Roast: This is the most popular roast level globally. It offers a balance between acidity, sweetness, and bitterness, often bringing out the coffee's natural flavors without overpowering them with roast characteristics. Medium roast is favored because it retains the coffee’s original flavors while adding some caramelized notes from the roasting process.
Dark Roast: Preferred by those who enjoy a stronger, more robust coffee with a pronounced bitterness and a heavier body. Dark roasts tend to have less acidity and more chocolatey or smoky notes. This roast level is popular in places like Southern Europe, the U.S., and Latin America.
Light Roast: Favored by coffee enthusiasts and those who appreciate more delicate and complex flavor profiles. Light roasts retain the most of the coffee bean's original flavors, including fruity and floral notes, and have higher acidity. This roast is popular in specialty coffee circles, particularly in the U.S. and Northern Europe.
