French Roast Dark Coffee With Bold Character From Our Highest Scoring African Beans Velvety Body And Smooth Finish

French Roast is a deep, dark roast that captures the bold, confident character of our highest-scoring African coffees. The beans arrive with a glossy oil sheen, a sign that roasting has unlocked full flavor and a velvety body, while keeping acidity restrained for a smooth, lingering finish.

Flavor profile and experience: a rich, bittersweet cup with low acidity, offering chocolatey and caramel notes with a subtle toastiness. This roast is crafted for those who want depth and warmth in every cup, whether you’re sipping solo or building a milk-forward coffee that still carries a robust backbone.

What sets French Roast apart

• Bold, full-bodied profile drawn from carefully selected African coffees roasted to bring out sweetness and depth rather than brightness.
• Oil sheen on the beans signals a rich mouthfeel and pronounced aroma that carries through every brew.
• Bittersweet finish with low acidity, making it versatile for stand-alone cups or as a foundation for lattes, mochas, and other indulgent drinks.
• Consistent performance across home brews: the intense character remains present whether you brew with drip, pour-over, or a French press.

Ideal for: coffee lovers who crave a commanding cup with deep chocolate and caramel notes, fans of African coffees who prefer a smoother acidity, and anyone looking to start the day with a cup that’s bold without sacrificing balance.

Brewing tips for maximum flavor:

• Grind fresh just before brewing to preserve oils and aroma.
• For a stronger shot, use a slightly finer grind and a careful extraction; for a smoother cup, opt for a coarser grind and longer brew time.
• Adjust the coffee-to-water ratio to taste, starting around a 1:16 ratio and tweaking to your preferred strength.
