Medium Roast Coffee

As it's name suggests - Medium Roast Coffee is the perfect balance between the light and dark roasts. It refers to beans roasted to an internal temperature between 210°C and 220°C, reaching the end of the first crack and stopping just before the second crack. This roasting level balances the inherent characteristics of the coffee with the nuanced notes introduced during roasting, offering a harmonious flavour profile.

Medium roast coffee offers a balanced flavour profile, providing a middle ground between the bright acidity of light roasts and the bold richness of dark roasts. It combines mellow acidity, subtle sweetness, and a satisfying body, making it a versatile choice appealing to a wide array of palates.

To keep your coffee fresh, buy only what you need and store it in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. It's best to purchase freshly roasted whole beans and grind them just before brewing. Avoid storing coffee in the fridge, as it can absorb other flavours. If you have surplus coffee, you can store it in the freezer, but ensure it's only frozen once to prevent condensation issues.
