Description
Dark coffee roasts are much darker brown in colour, some of them even look black when roasted just beyond dark and into “espresso roast”. The taste profile often matches the darker colours with tastes of chocolate and smokiness. Although the types of beans still shapes parts of the end flavour when dark roasting coffee, the flavour is almost entirely impacted by the roast itself. Those smoky undertones are the result of the cooking process, and not flavours you’d find within the coffee naturally.
Dark roasted coffees have been popular in Europe, which is the reason for names for dark roast that include Continental, Italian, French, and Spanish roasts.
