What makes light roast coffee unique?
Light roast coffee is roasted at a lower temperature for a shorter time, preserving the bean’s natural flavours. It has higher acidity, lighter body, and more pronounced fruity, floral, and citrus notes compared to medium or dark roasts.
What is the difference between light coffee and dark coffee?
Light coffee has bright acidity, delicate sweetness, and complex flavour notes. Dark coffee has deeper, bolder flavours with caramelised, smoky, and chocolatey tones. If you love a coffee that highlights the bean’s origin, light roasted coffee is the best choice.
What’s the best way to brew light roast coffee?
To enhance the delicate flavours of light roast, we recommend:
Pour-over (V60, Chemex) – Brings out clarity and brightness.
AeroPress – Balances smoothness and acidity.
Filter coffee (drip machine) – A simple way to enjoy crisp and clean notes.
Espresso – For a fruitier, more complex shot.
Why does light roasted coffee have more caffeine?
Light roasts retain slightly more caffeine per bean because they are roasted for a shorter time. However, per brewed cup, the caffeine difference is minimal.
Can I use light roast coffee for espresso?
Yes! While light roast coffee is typically used for filter brewing, it makes an excellent espresso with fruity, tea-like notes. However, you may need to adjust the grind size and extraction time for the best results.
Is light roast less bitter than dark roast?
Yes! Since light roasted coffee is roasted for a shorter period, it doesn’t develop the deep caramelisation that creates bitterness in darker roasts. Instead, it has a naturally sweet and bright flavour profile.
