Dark Roast Coffee

Dark roast coffee, also called Italian roast, is characterized by its deep, dark brown color and heavy body. The longer roasting results in a complex and stronger flavor profile featuring notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and sometimes a subtle smoky finish.                                             

Our dark roasts are less acidic than lighter roasted coffees, making them perfect for those who enjoy drinking coffee with a bold, intense flavor.                        

Perfect Balance of Flavor and Caffeine 

Contrary to popular belief, dark roasts don't necessarily contain more caffeine than light and medium roast coffee. The coffee roasting process burns off some caffeine, resulting in a slightly lower caffeine content.                        

However, the rich, full-bodied flavor of dark roasts more than makes up for this, providing a satisfying and energizing cup that will kickstart your day or give a much-needed afternoon pick-me-up.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What type of beans does Bones Coffee use for their dark roasts?

Bones Coffee Company exclusively uses 100% Arabica coffee beans for dark roast. This dark roast bean variety is known for producing a smooth, full-bodied flavor and is considered higher quality than other types of coffee beans, such as Robusta. Arabica beans in dark roasts deliver bold flavors without bitterness, ensuring premium brews.                               

How does storage impact dark roast coffees?

It is essential to store your dark roasts properly to maintain their full, bold dark flavor. Always keep your dark roast in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct light, heat, and moisture. 

This way, the oily surfaces developed during the coffee roasting process will be preserved, preventing your dark roast from becoming stale.                                     

Can I use dark roasts to make cold brew?

Absolutely! Dark roasts work wonderfully for making cold brews. The smooth, bold flavors that are in dark or French roast coffee translate well in the cold coffee, often bringing out rich, dark bittersweet chocolate or nutty undertones. Use a coarse grind to ensure proper extraction and prevent a bitter dark roast taste.                      

Is the dark roast coffee collection available in whole bean and ground options?

Yes, all of Bones Coffee’s dark roasts are available in whole bean and ground options. If you prefer to grind your dark roast fresh for the best flavor, go for the whole beans.       

If convenience is vital, you can choose the ground option for your dark roast coffee, available in various grind sizes and ready for different brewing methods.
