WHAT TYPE OF ROAST SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Different types of roast allow us to mould the flavour of the coffee. The choice of roast requires consideration of the way in which the coffee will be prepared, as well, of course, as personal tastes and preferences.

A light roast will give a coffee which retains greater complexity of flavour and more acidity, but will sacrifice intensity and body. This is recommended for coffee prepared with a filter or electric coffee makers.

We recommend a medium roast as highly balanced and multifunctional, allowing the greatest number of different forms of preparation without forsaking flavour. Suitable for both espresso machines and filter methods, such as an electric coffee makers, or a moka or Italian coffee maker.

A dark roast, meanwhile, will give greater intensity of flavour, bitterness and body, while losing acidity and complexity of flavour. We recommend this roast for lovers of Italian espresso, with body and intense flavour. We do not recommend such a roast for filter coffee makers, such as electric models.
