What is Light Roast Coffee?

Light roast coffee is roasted for a shorter time at lower temperatures, preserving the bean's intrinsic flavors and natural characteristics. This results in a coffee with high acidity, no visible surface oils, and a bright, vibrant flavor profile with fruity, floral, and tea-like notes.

The main difference between light, medium, and dark roasts lies in the roast duration and resulting flavor. Light roasts preserve the bean's natural flavors and acidity, while darker roasts develop lower acidity, heavier bodies, richer notes, and surface oils.

While light roast coffee contains slightly more caffeine by weight, caffeine levels per scoop are similar across roast levels due to changes in bean density during roasting. Ideal brewing methods for light roast coffee include pour-over, drip, and AeroPress, which enhance the delicate flavors and high acidity. Blonde roast is a lighter variation of light roast, roasted for even less time, resulting in higher acidity and a more delicate flavor profile.

What Type of Coffee Beans Does Colipse Use for Their Medium Roasts?

Colipse uses 100% Arabica beans for its single-origin light roasts to preserve delicate flavors and acidity. However, blends like the High Caffeine blend use a 50/50 mix of Arabica and Robusta beans. The beans are sourced from regions like Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Costa Rica, known for high-altitude coffee cultivation. Both washed and natural processing methods are used to highlight distinct flavors. Colipse carefully selects beans through rigorous quality control, focusing on flavor, altitude, and sustainability. To ensure freshness, beans are roasted in small batches and immediately packaged in airtight bags with one-way valves.

How does Storage Change the Flavor of Medium Roast Coffee?

Storage plays a key role in maintaining the flavor of light roast coffee. Proper storage preserves its delicate flavors. Exposure to air, especially oxygen, accelerates oxidation and staling. This causes the coffee to lose its bright, fruity notes and develop a duller, less aromatic taste over time. Vacuum-sealing is ideal as it minimizes exposure to oxygen and moisture, slowing down staling and preserving the coffee's acidity and vibrant character. For optimal storage, keep your light roast coffee beans in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, ideally between 50-70°F (10-21°C). This helps to maintain freshness and prevent flavor degradation."
