Let’s Connect on Social


When it comes to crafting the perfect cup of coffee, the roast level plays a crucial role in shaping the flavor and overall experience. Whether you're drawn to the bright, fruity notes of a light roast, the balanced smoothness of a medium roast, or the bold, rich flavors of a dark roast, understanding the key differences between these roast levels can transform your coffee game. In this guide, we’ll dive into the unique characteristics of light, medium, and dark roast coffee, helping you discover the perfect match for your taste and brew the best coffee at home.


Light Roast Coffee: Bright, Fruity, and Complex

Light roast coffee is known for its bright acidity and delicate flavors. These beans are roasted for a shorter time, preserving more of the coffee’s original characteristics, like fruity, floral, and citrus notes. If you enjoy a more complex and nuanced cup, light roast coffee is the way to go. It’s often preferred by those who want to taste the unique qualities of single-origin beans, like our Puerto Rican Peaberry Coffee, known for its natural sweetness and vibrant flavors.

  • Flavor profile: Bright acidity, floral, fruity, and citrus notes

  • Best brewing methods: Pour-over, Chemex, Aeropress

Medium Roast Coffee: Balanced, Smooth, and Flavorful

If you prefer a balanced cup of coffee that’s not too acidic but still full of flavor, then a medium roast is your best choice. Medium roast coffee offers a perfect balance between the original bean flavors and the rich caramelization from the roasting process. It’s smooth, approachable, and often has notes of chocolate, nuts, and slight sweetness. Our 787 Coffee Medium Roast is crafted to highlight the natural flavors of our Puerto Rican beans, delivering a balanced, flavorful brew every time.

  • Flavor profile: Balanced acidity, chocolate, caramel, nutty notes

  • Best brewing methods: Drip coffee maker, French press, espresso



Dark Roast Coffee: Bold, Rich, and Intense

For those who love a strong, bold cup of coffee, dark roast coffee is the ultimate choice. These beans are roasted longer, resulting in a deep, rich flavor with smoky, chocolatey, or even spicy notes. Dark roast coffee often has a fuller body and lower acidity, making it ideal for those who enjoy an intense coffee experience. At 787 Coffee, our Dark Roast brings out the best of our Puerto Rican beans, offering a bold, robust flavor that’s perfect for espresso lovers and fans of rich, strong brews.

  • Flavor profile: Bold, smoky, chocolatey, with lower acidity

  • Best brewing methods: Espresso, stovetop Moka pot, cold brew
