Medium Roast Coffee

Medium roasted coffee is roasted for more time than a light roasted coffee, but less time than a dark roasted coffee. As a result, this roasting level produces a final brew which has a taste between that of a light roast and that of a dark roast. Medium roasted coffee combines the lightness and freshness of a light roast and the richness and oiliness of a dark roast, while ensuring that not one of these characteristics overpowers the other. In order to fully taste a coffee bean, medium roast is the recommended roasting level since neither the grassiness nor the oiliness of the bean will overpower the taste. Medium roasted coffee has an acidity level which is neither high nor low, making its texture very smooth. Medium roasted coffee is roasted at a temperature between 410 degrees Fahrenheit and 426 degrees Fahrenheit. Speciality coffee is mostly roasted to this level since both the origin characteristics and the reduction of acidity of the coffee bean, which makes the final brew smoother on the palate, are present in this type of coffee, thus allowing the drinker to experience the best coffee experience.
