Roast Levels

Roast Level		Notes	Surface	Flavour
Light	Cinnamon Half City New England	At first crack, the beans double in size.	Dry	Light-bodied and a little sour, grassy and snappy
Medium	Full City American Regular Breakfast Brown		Dry	A bit sweeter; full body balanced by acid snap, aroma and complexity
Dark	High Viennese Italian Espresso Continental	At second crack, the oils rise to the surface. The beans start to caramelise.	Slightly shiny	A little spicy; complexity traded for rich chocolatey body, aroma exchanged for sweetness.
Darkest	French	The beans grow quiet and begin to smoke. Having caramelised, the bean sugars begin to carbonise.	Shiny	Strong and bitter, with much of the varietal differences eliminated.
