how to choose the right roast level for your drip brewer

Don't bother with a medium roast for a drip brewer. It's all about balancing acidity and body. Here's how to choose the right roast level:

• Light Roast: Bright acidity, fruit notes. Great for those who want a clean cup with citrus or berry flavors.
• Look for beans roasted within 7–10 days of arrival.
• Expect a lower yield due to higher oil content.
• Medium Roast: Balanced acidity, hint of sweetness. Perfect for everyday drinking with notes of nuts and chocolate.
• Medium roasts are usually the most popular, but can be too balanced for some tastes.
• Dark Roast: Low acidity, rich flavors. Ideal for those who want a bold cup with notes of caramel or spices.
• Darker roasts often have more oils, which can clog your brewer.

Pair it with the right grinder and your drip brewer will be in harmony.
