Light, Medium, & Dark Roasted Coffee: What’s The Difference?

You pick up a bag of fresh coffee, and you notice that on the front it says “medium-light roast” – but what does this mean? And why is roast level important? Find out in today’s curated video article.

What Do Light, Medium, & Dark Roasted Coffees Taste Like?

The roast profile has a crucial impact on how your coffee tastes. In this video from Hawaii Visitor, Lion Coffee Roasters takes us through the basic differences between light, medium, and dark roasts. They explain that light roasts have the brightest, most acidic flavours, while medium ones are more balanced and smooth. And dark roasts? That’s when you really taste the roasting rather than the coffee’s origin.

Watch the video to find out more.
