Medium roast from Süssmund Kaffee

What does medium roast mean?

Coffees in the Balanced & Sweet category combine the best possible blend of acidity, sweetness, body, and roasted aroma. This is achieved by the medium roast, which adjusts the roasting time, bean temperature, and development time during the roasting process. During the roasting process, the slow drum roast promotes the development of a wide variety of aromas. This makes medium roast coffees particularly versatile, with flavor profiles appealing to a wide range of coffee drinkers.

This roast is ideal for a balanced, aromatic espresso or Americano. The rich roasted aroma also serves as a good base for cappuccino, caffe latte, or other coffee specialties. The versatile sweetness of the roasted coffee beans blends with the milk sugar to create a harmonious milky coffee composition.

What is medium roast coffee best for?

Medium roast coffees are suitable for many preparation methods and almost all coffee machines. Especially for fans of the moka pot, also known as a screw-top coffee pot, the espresso roasts from the Balanced & Sweet category are recommended. Dark roasts can quickly taste burnt with this preparation method, while light roasts tend to be dominated by acidity. Our Dolce Cerrado from Brazil, in particular, is an exceptional talent for your Bialetti and will delight you with hazelnut and chocolate on the finish.

The El Capitan and Oaxaca have proven particularly successful for fully automatic coffee machines. Thanks to its 25% Robusta content, our El Capitan also performs well in the brewing chambers of fully automatic coffee machines, combining chocolatey notes with exciting complexity and a medium roasted aroma in the cup. Our Oaxaca boasts flavors of nougat, wafer, and marzipan, while maintaining a low acidity. Learn how to properly set up your fully automatic coffee machine in our Brew Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the roasts for espresso and filter coffee differ in the same category?

Yes, because the preparation method has a significant influence on the flavor. If you prepare an espresso roast as a filter coffee, the roasted aroma and bitterness will be more pronounced than with espresso itself. Conversely, the acidity of a filter coffee roast prepared as an espresso is more dominant than with a filter coffee. Therefore, it's worth classifying coffee varieties according to preparation method and flavor.
