Members IRG Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 Medium to dark roast for me. But I like most coffee if it's good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TravvyBear Posted August 15, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 90% of the time I always use a dark roast. But lately I've been wanting less of a bold flavor, and more of a rich flavor? I'm bad at coffee terms..but anyways, I was thinking about switching to a medium roast. I use splenda, no creme and a Bodum French Press. I wouldn't call myself a coffee snob, but I'm at the point where if I'm making my own cup, a drip brew just doesn't cut it.

Members GuitarSlim101 Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 Medium and dark roasts for me. I usually find light roasts a bit too acidic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Reaganomics! Posted August 16, 2012 Members Share Posted August 16, 2012 As with beer, I prefer something a little bolder but I will drink whatever the {censored} is in front of me. Mostly it depends on preparation. If I have to make it at the {censored}ty keurig at work then I need to find a blend so dark light can't escape. If I'm at a cafe that knows what their doing I will go with something medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hooya Posted August 16, 2012 Members Share Posted August 16, 2012 I like coffee that is roasted an appropriate amount for the profile of the bean being roasted. Usually that is lighter than most large, nation-wide available, coffee roasters do it (longer shelf life if it's darker). Even though they'll say it's a light roast, if it's on the grocery store shelf it's pretty relative. Some beans don't want to be too dark. If you over roast a good Ethiopian bean it looses all character to that bean. Most Sumatran beans don't have much subtle character, so they can be roasted a little darker to draw out an earthy flavor. Roast in and of itself means nothing. A good roaster will roast a good bean to where it makes the best coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hooya Posted August 16, 2012 Members Share Posted August 16, 2012 And yes, the method of brewing makes a great difference as well. As does the quality of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members christianatl Posted August 16, 2012 Members Share Posted August 16, 2012 Been on a bit of a Counter Culture kick lately. I also love Dancing Goats, Intelligensia, 9th St Espresso and Stumptown. Much like pedals, it can be a bit of a rabbit hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Aristotle Posted August 16, 2012 Members Share Posted August 16, 2012 Every morning, I make lazy lattes (fresh ground beans, cold milk) using whatever espresso beans I bought in bulk off Amazon, usually a dark roast. At work theres always a pot of Dunkin' Donuts coffee made, not sure what kind of roast because I don't drink it all that often. Thanks again Christian for the Moka Pot recommendation (months and months back - I still love that thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
