Coffee Press Cup

Coffee Press Cup is happy to bring you this guide on the variety of roasts of coffee and what they each mean. The darker the roast, the more flavorful and stout it will be. Coffee beans, when picked, are green. It is not until it is roasted that coffee beans become brown or even black. The roasting time of coffee determines its flavor. The coffee’s origin can also affect the flavor slightly, but it will not have a great impact like roasting. So with this guide from Coffee Press Cup learn how to choose the coffee that meets your needs, and fulfills your desire.

Let’s start with a light roast coffee. These coffees tend to resemble tea, and do not have a lot of caffeine content. They are the weakest of all of the coffees. Coffee Press Cup does not endorse one particular roast or another. This is to inform you of the choices you have in coffee. A light roasted coffee bean is just as much coffee as any darker roast. This coffee is for those who like a mild flavor. Coffee Press Cup likes to dress the light roasts with only light cream and sugar, for a mild and tasty mid day sip. It doesn’t quite match up to being a breakfast blend but makes for a light treat.

Medium roasts are a common house blend for most restaurants. Medium roast can be found in my coffee maker throughout the day. This is a generally tasty and delightful cup of coffee. It is quite popular with Coffee Press Cup. The medium roast is also the most sold worldwide.  This is a very popular variety. Chances are, if you enjoy a daily brew, this would be it. It is generally pre-ground and packaged. It usually has a course grind and is percolated for a moment to draw the beans’ flavor into the water.  This is the basic process for rendering the ground beans into coffee.

Dark roasts tend to be much stronger in flavor. This would be like an Italian Espresso Roast. This is probably the most popular with Coffee Press Cup. Espresso has made itself popular worldwide. Espressos come in a huge variety of options with contrasting flavors. Espresso is most often known as a latte. Latte means that it is infused with steamed milk. Most espressos have added flavored syrups and sugar. Espresso shops have popped up all over America.

Last but not least, another, and also popular with Coffee Press Cup, is the French Roast. True French Roast is roasted until it begins to smoke. When this happens the natural sugars start to carbonize. This gives a French Roast a smoky flavor and aroma. It is very strong, even more so than espresso. It even has a hint of burnt flavor that is unique to a French Roast. This burnt quality is not overpowering, and can be reminiscent of camping. Coffee Press Cup is here with the finest coffee for you. So drink a cup and think of us.
