Choosing the Roast Level That Suits Your Taste

The roast level affects the acidity, sweetness, and bitterness you taste in the cup.

Key Points

  • A light roast highlights fruit acidity and floral aroma, which suits manual brewing such as V60.
  • A medium roast balances sweetness, chocolate, and acidity, making it comfortable for daily drinking.
  • A medium-dark roast gives a thick body and roasted-nut flavour, which suits tubruk or milk coffee.
  • Try one small bag of each level and note the taste before buying in bulk.

No roast level is the single right one; the best is the one you enjoy most.
