For a traditional espresso, there are few better. We taste tons of dark chocolate with roasted nuts and caramel to boot.

Medium roast

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.

    Medium roast that tastes like a super dark roast.

    The coffee looks like a medium roast, but tastes like it’s very darkly roasted. Very bitter and astringent, no matter what ratio and shot time I pull. As straight espresso, I can’t even drink it. It’s fine as an americano with sugar, or a latte, but it is the most roasty tasting medium roast I’ve ever had. I would not recommend to those who like medium or light roasts.
