Medium Roast Brew

Region: Global
Brewing Time: 4-5 minutes (for French Press)
Total Time: 6-7 minutes
Indulgence: ☕️ (Balanced)
The Story:
Medium roast coffee is often called the "American roast" or "breakfast roast." It strikes the perfect balance between the bright, acidic notes of a light roast and the bold, smoky body of a dark roast. This roast level allows the bean's origin characteristics (like fruit, nut, or chocolate notes) to shine through without being overpowered by the roast flavor itself.
