Medium Dark Roast Coffee Beans
Medium dark roast sits in the development gap just before second crack - the point where the bean's sugars begin to caramelise more deeply and the roast character starts to assert itself alongside the origin flavours. At this level the beans have had enough time to even out and expand, giving them a larger, more uniform appearance than lighter roasts. In roasting terminology this is known as a City+ Roast - a step beyond the classic City Roast of medium profiles, but still well before the bold intensity of a full dark roast. The flavour profile strikes a balance between the fruitier notes of lighter roasts and the richer chocolate and caramel character of darker ones. It's a versatile roast level that works particularly well for espresso and milk-based drinks. If you prefer something brighter and more delicate, browse our light roast collection or medium roast range. For a bolder, more intense cup, explore our dark roast collection.
