The roasting

Roasting also plays a big role when it comes to the taste of your coffee.

During the roasting process, chemical reactions are triggered that promote the formation of aroma compounds.

For the nutty and chocolatey notes, a medium roast is often the best choice. A roast that is too light can result in the roasted flavors not being sufficiently developed, while a roast that is too dark can quickly become overwhelmingly bitter.
