Dark Roast vs. Light Roast: Which is Right for You?

Nov 24, 2025

The great coffee debate: Dark Roast vs. Light Roast. Let's clear it up.

  • Light Roast: Tastes more like the bean's origin. It’s brighter, with more caffeine, and highlights fruity, floral notes.
  • Dark Roast: Tastes more like the roasting process. It’s bolder, with robust, chocolatey, or smoky flavors.

Here’s the key: A dark roast shouldn’t mean a bitter roast. Thanks to our wood-fired method, our dark roasts like Inferno and Starfire are full-bodied and smooth, without the harshness.
