Italian Roast

Italian roast coffee is one of the darkest coffee roasts available, known for its bold, intense flavor and smoky character.

An extra dark oily roast made from Central American coffees for deep, heavy coffee flavor. Origin characteristics are diminished and acidity is non-existent.

• Roast level: Extra-dark (darker than French roast)

• Color: Very dark brown to nearly black

• Surface: Oily sheen from natural oils released during extended roasting

• Roasting stage: Roasted past the second crack

Flavor profile

• Smoky, charred, and robust

• Notes of dark chocolate, burnt sugar, toasted wood

• Very low acidity

• Little to no origin flavors remain (the roast dominates)

Caffeine content

• Slightly less caffeine by volume than lighter roasts due to longer roasting time

• Still delivers a strong, intense taste that feels “powerful”
