WEEKLY COFFEE GUIDE β Today's Topic: LIGHT ROAST VS DARK ROAST!
π You know what day it is! It's Monday which means it is time for another Coffee Talk!
Today we want to explain the difference between the different kinds of coffee roasts. More specifically, we wanted to talk about Light Roast vs Dark Roast. π«β
β Light Roast vs. Dark RoastβWhat's the Difference?
It all comes down to flavor and roasting time! π±
Light roasts are roasted for less time, bringing out the bean's natural flavors. They also have a slightly higher caffeine content per scoop because the beans are denser.
Dark roasts are roasted longer, creating a bold, rich flavor and a smooth, smoky finish. While many people think dark roast has more caffeine, it actually contains about the same amount of caffeine by weight as a light roast. Because dark roast beans are less dense, a scoop of dark roast has slightly less caffeine than a scoop of light roast.
Whether you love a bright, vibrant cup or a rich, bold brew, there's no wrong choiceβjust your favorite! ββ¨
