That’s Strong Coffee

There are a few notable dark-roasted blends you’re likely to find at most coffee shops.

Espresso Roast: these are usually dark, robust blends with a caramel-like sweetness. Espresso roasts are specifically created to stand up to the intense process of brewing espresso, but can be brewed using other methods with great results.

  • Body: full
  • Acidity: low
  • Flavor Pairings: caramel, chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom

Italian Roast: the name refers to the way in which the coffee is roasted: very dark, as is popular in Italy. Italian roasts are a blend of beans from different regions, but often have those from Latin America in common.

  • Body: Full
  • Acidity: Low
  • Flavor Pairings: chocolate, caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, nuts

French Roast: these blends are roasted even darker than the Italian Roast. While French Roasts are not actually full-bodied, their flavor is strong and intense, often with a smoky quality–they have a relatively small, but loyal following.

  • Body: light to medium
  • Acidity: low
  • Flavor Pairings: toasted almonds, toasted hazelnuts, caramelized sugar
