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.

    Excellent coffee

    Really enjoying this--smooth and bright with nice deep flavor. My 2nd or 3rd bag from Dune and they have all been good.

    Dune has done better

    In the best cups I have managed to extract from these beans I got a distant hint of coffee and the finish wasn’t too unpleasant. Dune’s “Diego Horta Columbia Anaerobic Natural”, in contrast, was far more to my taste, lots of juicy, interesting cups. I can’t honestly recommend the Guatemala La Palma, so mostly I want to say that you shouldn’t write Dune off just because these beans are so lackluster.
