Medium Roast Coffee

The Roasting Process: Achieving the Perfect Medium Roast

In the journey from green coffee beans to your cup, the roasting process plays a pivotal role in defining flavour profiles. For medium roast coffee, beans are typically heated to internal temperatures between 210°C and 220°C, reaching the end of the first crack and stopping just before the second crack. This precise timing allows the beans to develop a balanced flavour, capturing both the inherent characteristics of the coffee and the nuanced notes introduced during roasting.

Flavour Profile of Medium Roast Coffee: A Harmonious Balance

Medium roast coffee is celebrated for its harmonious flavour profile, offering a middle ground between the bright acidity of light roasts and the bold richness of dark roasts. Key characteristics include:

- The acidity is mellowed, providing a smooth and pleasant taste without the sharpness found in lighter roasts.

- Caramelisation during roasting imparts subtle sweet notes, often reminiscent of caramel or honey.

- The coffee exhibits a satisfying body, offering a fuller mouthfeel compared to light roasts but without the heaviness of dark roasts.

Expect a diverse range of flavours, including hints of nuts, chocolate, and mild fruit undertones, depending on the coffee's origin.

This balanced profile makes medium roast coffee a versatile choice, appealing to a wide array of palates.

Caffeine Content in Medium Roast Coffee: Striking the Right Balance

Caffeine content varies slightly across different roast levels. Medium roast coffee maintains a moderate caffeine level, sitting comfortably between the higher content of light roasts and the slightly lower content of dark roasts. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a balanced energy boost without the pronounced intensity of lighter roasts.
