{"title":"Dark Roast Coffee Beans","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBreaking Down Dark Roasts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark roasted coffees are roasted longer to develop a dark chocolate brown color and sometimes have a shiny, oily surface. During this extended roasting process, the natural acids in the beans break down, resulting in a lower acidity than lighter roasts. Dark roast coffee also retains nearly the exact same caffeine content, as lighter roasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark roasts deliver a bold, rich flavor with a full, robust body and very low acidity. The extended roasting time brings out pronounced roasted, smoky notes that might remind you of the char on grilled food. Because the roasting process breaks down acids into lactones and phenylindanes, these coffees have a more pronounced bitterness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen Are Dark Roast Coffee Beans the Right Pick?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who prefer a classic coffee experience, dark roast can be a great choice for many applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Brewing Methods:\u003c\/strong\u003e Because of their heavy mouthfeel and developed flavors, dark roasts are ideal for espresso and hold up exceptionally well with steamed milk in lattes and cappuccinos.
