Dark Roast Brew

Region: Global (Popular in Europe and the Western US)
Brewing Time: 5-10 minutes (varies by method)
Total Time: 7-12 minutes
Indulgence: ☕️ (Bold & Smoky)
The Story:
Dark roast coffee is characterized by beans that have been roasted until they are dark brown, often oily, and have a pronounced smoky, bitter flavor. The roasting process overshadows the bean's origin characteristics, resulting in a uniform, bold taste popular in many traditional European and American coffee styles. It’s the classic "diner coffee" profile.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1-2 tbsp darkly roasted, coarsely ground coffee

Equipment

  • Drip Coffee Maker or French Press
  • Coffee Grinder

Method
 

  1. Use a standard drip coffee maker or French press.
  2. Use a slightly coarser grind than for medium roast to avoid over-extraction and excessive bitterness.
  3. Brew as you normally would.
  4. Pro Tip: Dark roasts contain less caffeine than lighter roasts by volume (as caffeine is burned off during longer roasting). Use a slightly heftier dose of grounds if you want a stronger caffeine kick.
