The best roasty coffees in our catalog
We have curated 20 roasty coffees currently in our catalog that prioritize deep, developed profiles. These selections come from a variety of origins including Sumatra, Minas Gerais, and Cerrado. While the processing methods vary across the board, you will find a mix of washed, natural, and wet-hulled coffees represented here. Common varieties like Caturra, Typica, and Mundo Novo provide the foundation for these darker roasts. We see consistent contributions from roasters such as Peace Coffee, Commonwealth Joe, Lighthouse Roasters, and Stone Street Coffee. Whether you are looking for the heavy body of a French Sumatra or the reliable profile of a house blend, these coffees represent the highest-scoring options on our composite for those who prefer a darker, more intense cup.
What to taste for:Look for heavy body, low acidity, and prominent notes of dark chocolate, toasted nuts, or smoke.
