The Ultimate Guide to Coffee Roast Levels: Unlocking Flavor Profiles

In the smoky hills of the American West, where cowboys once roamed and outlaws found refuge, a new kind of maverick is brewing up a storm. Dark Horse Coffee isn't just about your average cup of joe - it's about harnessing the untamed spirit of the frontier in every roast. From sun-kissed light roasts that'll wake you faster than a rattlesnake's shake, to dark roasts so bold they'd make a gunslinger flinch, we're redefining what it means to drink American. Saddle up, partner - this ain't your grandpa's coffee.

A double shot of espresso contains around 2 oz of water, or around 60 ml of liquid. This is twice as much water compared to a single shot of espresso and twice as much coffee.

Why Does Decaf Coffee Taste Different - DarkHorseCoffeeCompany

Why Does Decaf Coffee Taste Different

Decaf coffee tastes different to regular coffee because of the decaffeination process that the coffee beans have undergone. Decaffeination can strip some of the natural flavors from coffee and change the chemical composition of the coffee beans. The tailored roasting process may also affect decaffeinated beans in unique ways, emphasizing different flavors and tones.

What To Do After Roasting Coffee Beans - DarkHorseCoffeeCompany

What To Do After Roasting Coffee Beans

As soon as you’ve roasted a batch of coffee beans, it’s important to store the coffee beans properly so that they can rest. Store coffee beans in an opaque, airtight container immediately after roasting. It’s best to let them rest like this for around one to two weeks to allow for degassing to take place. Degassing allows the gasses that build up in coffee beans during the roasting process to be released, resulting in better tasting coffee.
