Dark roast coffee between full city roast and Italian roast

Gourmet Espresso Coffee Bean – Dark & Rich

The Italian term “espresso” has several accepted meanings including;

  • Coffee made “expressly” for you
  • Coffee made quickly (express)
  • Coffee that is made using pressurized hot water (expressed)

Most coffee experts would argue that espresso coffee is not a type of roast at all but rather a specific form of coffee preparation using the proper espresso coffee equipment.

 What Is Espresso Roast?

In the last few decades coffee has become a consumer driven product and as such the newly formed coffee culture has directly affected the meaning of the word “espresso”.
When roasting coffee beans there are three primary roasting grades:

  • Light Roast Coffees
  • Medium Roast Coffees
  • Dark Roast Coffees

Within these three roasting grades green coffee beans have traditionally been roasted to eight different roast levels including:

  • Light Roast
  • Cinnamon Roast
  • Medium Roast
  • High Roast
  • City Roast
  • Full City Roast
  • Italian Roast
  • French Roast

The term “espresso roast” is primarily a North American phenomenon.

Our North American coffee culture owes its heritage to the espresso coffee maker and the Italian method of espresso coffee preparation. In North America however, espresso roast has come to mean a dark roast coffee that falls somewhere between full city roast and Italian roast.

Depending on the source, some coffee roasters will even refer to Italian roast and espresso roast as one and the same. Still others, especially coffee consumers, often refer to the best espresso roast as the type of roast used to create espresso coffee drinks.

In truth, with good quality espresso coffee equipment, one can make a good espresso coffee from virtually any roast. It really is a matter of individual taste. In Italy, the birthplace of the espresso coffee maker, the preference is to use medium roast coffee beans to make espresso coffees.
