Dark roasted coffee is roasted longer and at a higher temperature than light and medium roasts.

• Clear caramelization

With dark roast, it is the roast profile that takes center stage rather than the fruitiness of the origin.

• Round rather than burnt

1. Freshly roasted beans

Avoid shelf-stable coffee that was roasted several months ago.

2. Quality raw material

Good dark roast starts with good green coffee.

Dark roast should be rich and chocolatey, not ashy or bitter.
