Is your coffee BOLD or just plain BURNT? Coffee is bitter and there is no getting around it to some extent and it will always be present in some concentration within your cup of coffee. There are many flavour components in coffee that give rise to bitterness, with the main culprit being our very good friend, caffeine. However, if you believe that your brew is excessively bitter, there are a number of reasons why this could be. One is the over roasting. At Better Beans of Florida we never over roast to get super dark coffee and some people ask why? Some customers just like what they consider DARK and BOLD Coffee. But let's be frank, its burnt and has lost many of its attributes like caffeine and flavour. We roast to second crack and a bit beyond which provides a rich and tasly coffee that brings out all the best flavour notes of the bean.

If your coffee beans are darkly roasted and glistening with oil on the surface of the bean, this is likely why your coffee is tasting excessively bitter and burnt. Over-roasting coffee beans essentially turn the cellulose fibres into carbon – the same thing we see on food when its BBQ. YUK! The darker the bean and the stronger the taste, doesn't mean it has more caffeine content.

Try our Better Beans of Florida roasts and taste the difference between fresh coffee and store bought.
