Why I don’t roast dark coffee.
A dark roasted coffee isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Some people honestly prefer it. But, here’s why I don’t roast past “medium” or “City Roast”. If you go too dark on the bean, you lose those wonderful natural flavor profiles that differentiate them from non-specialty coffee. Consumers have become accustomed to “dark roasts” because the industry has been “pumping out” low quality beans that have been roasted to near charcoal to give them a taste that is consistent and easy to replicate.
I strive to find high quality beans. Beans you can’t find at the grocery store or even at local coffee shops.
