What is French Roast Coffee?

French roast coffee is a dark roasted, robust type of coffee with a bold, smoky flavor. Compared to light or medium roasts, French roast typically has low acidity, a deep brown to nearly black color, and visible oils on the surface. The term 'French roast' does not mean type or variety of bean, but rather originated from the popularity of dark-roasted coffee in France during the 19th century. Coffee culture in France at that time favored deeply roasted beans, distinguishing this profile from the lighter roasts popular in other regions.

Colipse's French Roast Blend coffee beans are grown on the fertile volcanic slopes of Central America, in a tropical climate ideal for coffee cultivation. These 100% Arabica beans are among the best French roast coffees due to their careful cultivation at altitudes ranging from 1,300 to 1,900 meters above sea level. The beans are handpicked and processed using a combination of washed and sun-dried methods. To fully experience the spectrum of its aroma, flavor, aftertaste, acidity, sweetness, and mouthfeel, we recommend brewing this blend using an espresso machine, Moka pot, French press, or cold brew method.

What does French Roast coffee taste like?

French roast coffee has a bold, smoky flavor with an intense, almost burnt character due to the extended roasting process, which caramelizes the sugars and minimizes acidity. This extended roasting also produces a dark brown bean with an oily surface, although not as dark or oily as Italian roast, which appears nearly black and has a heavier, more bitter taste. Interestingly, French roast contains slightly more caffeine than Italian dark roast but less than lighter roasts, as extended roasting burns off caffeine.

The aroma of Colipse French Roast Blend is rich and inviting, with notes of dark chocolate and subtle spice. This blend delivers a complex flavor profile with hints of cocoa, smoky toffee, and subtle berries, culminating in a smooth and lingering aftertaste dominated by rich cocoa and subtle berry notes. The low acidity complements the deeper, bolder flavors, making it a perfect choice for those who enjoy a full-bodied and creamy cup with a smooth, rich texture. Its natural sweetness and toffee notes also pair well with espresso-based milk drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites.
