Dark Roast

Dark Roast Coffee

Dark roast coffee presents unique challenges for coffee makers. Dark roasting coffee is far more challenging than bringing coffees to a satisfying medium or medium dark roast style. The beans become easier to burn, and can affect the flavor profoundly. In order to successfully roast to a dark coffee, the roaster must bring it along slowly and cool the beans properly.

Attempts at achieving too dark a roast can result in a bitter, burnt taste. When the darker roasts are achieved by using the proper roasting techniques, and the coffee has the proper tones and nuances, the dark roast coffees are favored by about 35% of coffee drinkers.

Dark Roast K-Cup Coffee

Dark roast K-Cup coffee is an emerging favorite among experienced coffee drinkers. The K-Cups keep the roasts fresh until you actually drink them, and as there is no loss of integrity, the dark roasts have an amazingly deep and fresh flavor.
