Dark Roast Coffee
Bold, rich, and not for the faint of heart — this is our dark side. Our dark roast coffees are roasted longer to bring out deep, smoky flavor, low acidity, and a full, satisfying body. If you love a cup with backbone — one that stands up to milk, holds its own as espresso, and finishes smooth — this is your collection.
Every dark roast here is certified USDA Organic, 100% Arabica, and roasted small-batch to order in Oceanside, California. Choose whole bean or ground depending on how you brew, in 1 lb and 5 lb bags. Standouts include our Le Bean Dark French Roast and the traditional Il Chicco Italian Roast — and for a bold cup without the caffeine, the Decaf French Roast.
What makes a coffee a dark roast?
Dark roast beans are roasted longer and to a higher temperature, which deepens the color, lowers acidity, and brings out bold, smoky, full-bodied flavor. The result is a richer, less acidic cup than a medium or light roast.
Does dark roast coffee have more caffeine?
Slightly less, actually. Longer roasting burns off a small amount of caffeine, so by volume dark roast has marginally less than a lighter roast — though the difference per cup is minor. Dark roast tastes stronger because it’s bolder, not because it’s more caffeinated.
What’s the best way to brew dark roast?
Dark roasts shine in methods that showcase deep flavor: French press, drip, and espresso all work beautifully. Use about 2 tablespoons of grounds per 6 oz of water, and grind just before brewing for the fullest flavor.
