FAQ Search Results
What is characteristic of light roast coffee?
Light roast coffee is lightly roasted, has a higher acidity and fruity, floral aromas. You taste more of the origin and variety of the bean.
For which brewing methods is light roast best suited?
Especially suitable for filter coffee (V60, Chemex, Aeropress) and cold brew, as these methods beautifully highlight the fresh and complex nuances.
Is light roast suitable for espresso?
Yes, but it requires more precision in grinding and extraction. The result is a vibrant, fruity espresso that differs from the classic Italian style.
How long do light roast beans stay fresh?
Approximately eight weeks after roasting, provided it is stored cool and airtight. Freshly grinding just before use gives the best result.
What is characteristic of medium roast coffee?
Medium roast offers the perfect balance between the fresh nuances of light roast and the deep intensity of dark roast. You will often taste caramel, chocolate, nuts and a hint of fruitiness.
For which brewing methods is medium roast best suited?
Virtually all methods: espresso, filter, French press and milk coffees. Medium roast is the most versatile roast.
Is medium roast accessible for beginners?
Yes, because the profile is round and balanced. Medium roast is therefore ideal for daily use and for coffee drinkers who do not like their coffee too acidic or too bitter.
How long do medium roast beans stay fresh?
Just like other roasts, about eight weeks after roasting, provided they are stored airtight and cool.
What is characteristic of dark roast coffee?
Dark roast is intense, full-bodied and powerful, with flavours of dark chocolate, nuts, caramel and sometimes a smoky finish. The acidity is minimal.
For which brewing methods is dark roast best suited?
Especially for espresso, cappuccino and latte. The full body and low acidity make this roast ideal for strong coffees and milk-based recipes.
Is dark roast bitter?
Dark roast can taste more bitter than light or medium roast, because the roasting is more intense. Many enthusiasts actually appreciate that classic, powerful flavour.
How long do dark roast beans stay fresh?
About eight weeks after roasting. Because oil appears on the surface, a dark roast is often slightly more sensitive to oxidation: storing it airtight is therefore especially important.
What are the differences between Lazarro Espresso Dark Roast coffee beans and De Roccis Qualità Oro Intenso?
They are both budget-friendly, fairly dark roasted beans. There are no major differences.
Can you also make a Latte with this coffee?
Yes, these beans work really well for a latte and other milk based drinks. Segafredo Caffè Crema Gustoso is an Italian blend of Arabica and Robusta with a long, intense roast. That gives it a strong aroma and a full, balanced body that you still taste through the milk, while the flavour stays velvety smooth. The hazelnut brown crema is firm enough to hold up once you pour the milk in.
Tip: use a slightly more generous dose for a latte, around 8 to 9 grams per cup or simply a double shot, so the coffee is not lost behind the milk. Steam the milk to about 60 degrees and keep the foam fine and glossy, that is when the aroma comes through best.
Can you use the same beans for espresso and filter coffee?
Yes, that is possible, but the result will differ. Espresso requires a finer grind and performs better with darker roasts. Filter coffee benefits from a coarser grind and lighter roasts, allowing the fresh and fruity notes to come forward more clearly.
