4 Types of Roast
Generally, there are four color categories of roasts . . .
Light roasts - brown in color . . .
Generally preferred for milder coffee varieties. It is not oily on the surface as these beans are not roasted long enough for the oils to break through to the surface.
Medium roasts - medium brown in color . . .
It has a stronger flavor with a non-oily surface. Frequently referred to as the American roast because the Americans generally preferred these.
Medium-dark roasts . . .
This roast has some oil on the surface with a slight bittersweet aftertaste, usually rich, dark color.
Dark roasts . . .
The beans are black and shiny with an oily surface, bitter with less acidity in your coffee beverage. Usually from slightly dark to charred, and the names are often used interchangeably.
Be sure to check your beans before you buy them!

And for a number of years, we focused on helping people find their desired coffee machine (we still are helping folks with that!
