Coffee roasting is a heating process that helps to give the coffee beans aroma and good taste. You could also say that coffee roasting tones the taste of the coffee in either a sweet, sour or bitter direction. When talking about roasting, we often talk about degrees of roasting: light roasted, medium roasted and dark roasted. The latter is the one we make you aware of here.
What is dark roast coffee?
Dark roast coffee has a strong taste and aroma and a bittersweet aftertaste. The taste tends to be spicy. Dark roast coffee gives you that strong cup of coffee that many like as a morning coffee. We also use it as a synonym for espresso coffee.
When you roast the coffee darker, you get a greater richness in the coffee, which gives this strong flavor with a slightly burnt aftertaste. It’s especially good when you’re brewing espresso – even if you prefer to complement the espresso shot with milk. The dark coffee will still have a nice strong coffee flavour that penetrates the milk in a tasty way.
