☕️ Coffee Roasts Explained: What’s the Difference?

Most coffee drinkers know there are different types of roasts—but do you know what those differences really mean for your cup?

Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the perfect roast for your taste:

Light Roast 🌞

☑️ Highest caffeine content

☑️ Bright acidity

☑️ Origin flavors are most prominent

Light roasts showcase the natural flavor of the coffee bean. You’ll taste floral, fruity, and citrus notes more clearly—since the roasting process hasn’t overpowered them.

Medium Roast 🌄

☑️ Balanced flavor profile

☑️ Moderate acidity and body

☑️ Great for everyday sipping

Medium roasts strike a delicious balance between origin flavors and roasted notes. You’ll get a rounded cup that appeals to a wide range of coffee lovers.

Dark Roast 🌙

☑️ Lower caffeine

☑️ Rich, full-bodied flavor

☑️ Buttery, caramelized sweetness

As beans roast longer, their natural sugars caramelize, resulting in a smooth, bold flavor with deep chocolatey and smoky undertones. Dark roasts have low acidity and often leave a lingering, velvety finish.
