Medium Dark Roast Profile
Due to the popularity of this degree of roast in the specialty coffee industry it is known by a variety of names. The most common names are Full City, European, Dutch, Medium High, Viennese, Continental, and Espresso Roast. Acidity begins to diminish and the caramelized sugars take on a bittersweet flavor reminiscent of dark chocolate. Small droplets of oil form on the surface of the bean once this level is reached.
