Light Roast
The Roastmaster’s biggest challenge. The brewed beverage from this roast must have some coffee character to it, yet be very light on the palate with some aroma

Medium Roast
A medium roast brews slightly stronger in the beverage. This roast brews well for afternoon coffee and late evening.

Medium Dark Roast
This roast is starting to develop some good body and aromatics. The coffee oil has not surfaced on the bean yet; some may come to the surface after roasting, but not much. A good morning and afternoon roast and great with meals.

Dark Roast
The Roastmaster’s choice. This roast is just starting to bring coffee oil to the surface of the bean as it discharges into the cooling tray. Making sure that all the character in the beverage and the aromatics of the brew are a result of the blend components (or varietal), and not the coffee oil caramelizing on the surface of the bean. A great morning coffee and great with a meal.

Espresso Roast / Italian Roast
The Roastmaster’s second choice. The coffee oils are brought to the surface of the bean just prior to discharge from the roaster. This allows the bean to develop some sweet characteristics without the coffee oil overpowering the character of the blend or varietal. The best roast for brewing Espresso and a great roast for brewing regular coffee as well. A good morning coffee, especially with a pastry, and really compliments a meal or DESSERT!!

French Roast
The Roastmaster’s second biggest challenge is making sure this coffee does not stay in the roaster too long and lose all its coffee character. The coffee oils come to the surface at the end of this roast. They are caramelized on the bean surface until they have developed a very heavy character, but not to the point of BURNT. Those that want the extra boost in the morning, this is the one for you. A good coffee with desserts and those morning breakfast treats.
