When I want a cup of coffee, I’m looking for comfort in a cup, that cozy feeling when the coffee hits the spot, along with a little sweet chocolatey note, and a hint of bitterness and acid.
Light roasts relly don’t do any of that for me at all. What experience do you have when drinking it? What parts do you enjoy?
I’ve got a mokka pot and an aeropress and I’m willing to give it a try.
It’s the combination of acidity and grassy floral flavors. It feels refreshing. It’s an additional element of mental pickup alongside caffeine itself.
On that note I feel like the overlap between light roast enjoyers and IPA enjoyers is basically a circle. Some of us like those kinds of tastes.
Haha, this threat is somewhat dejecting. I hate IPAs
For now
Oh no
Oh hey it’s me
Yeah, light roasts generally have brighter and more complex flavours, which is what I’ve come to enjoy most out of a good coffee
I can still enjoy a dark coffee the same way I can still enjoy a Guinness, but if I’m choosing, I’ll be picking the more complex drink with a greater gamut of variation between different ones
That’s interesting. Why do you think that to be the case?
I admit it doesn’t square with my own experience, but I wouldn’t want to just write it off.
It’s my feeling they fall into the same category of tastes. Acidic bitter grass and fruit with a lot variation and complexity.
Yes we usually call light roast not bitter but that’s only in comparison with the dark roast, which lacks other mentioned flavors.
