Medium Roast Coffee

What Is Medium Roast Coffee?

Medium roast coffees are medium brown in color, with no oil on the bean surface. Medium roast tends to be sweeter than light roast, with more body and a balanced acidity. This is the beautiful result of natural coffee flavors in harmony with an even, smooth flavor.

How Medium Roast Coffee is Roasted
Quality medium roast coffee is roasted to perfection at a temperature that brings out the bean’s natural sweetness and balanced flavor. Roasted just past the first crack, it develops a smooth body with vibrant notes, without the bitterness of darker roasts or the sharp acidity of lighter ones. The result is a well-rounded, flavorful cup that highlights the true character of the coffee bean.

To achieve a medium roast coffee, green coffee beans are roasted until they reach an internal temperature of approximately 410°F - 430°F. This roasting process allows the beans to undergo significant chemical changes, developing their characteristic flavor profiles.
