Omni roast

There’s a third roast type too: omni. This is simply a coffee that has been roasted to work as either an espresso or filter brew.

The two methods will produce different flavours in the cup, and it will still taste great using either method.

Many of our roasters produce an omni roast and if this is in your box, it’ll be good with either brew method.

 

Generally, Espresso parties are roasted a little longer and a little hotter to increase the body and dent the acidity. The same coffee can taste really different with small changes in roasting.

 

So, what to choose?

If you’re brewing using an espresso machine, select an espresso roast.

If you use a filter method, you can be flexible. A filter roast will reveal subtler, sweeter flavors.

However, espresso roasts can be brewed as an espresso or filter so, if you like more body and a darker flavor – either filter or espresso roast would work.

Don’t forget – taste is subjective and personal, so experiment and see what you like.
