Coffee Roasts: Notes from a Non-Roaster (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

  „But that doesn't affect the brand new roaster who knows what they used to drink in a little Café in France and starts roasting a medium dark French Roast, nor does it affect the old time family-owned roaster who never even heard of the SCAA. If they have a coffee that has been their Italian Roast for 50 years, then it doesn't matter if the proper name of said roast on the SCAA chart is French or Viennese or Full City or whatever, it's still Italian Roast to them. So the confusion isn't likely to dissipate soon.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „This assigning of national names to coffee roasts is a bit arbitrary, but has some basis in fact. French roasters, particularly those in parts of Northern France, do roast coffee very darkly, justifying the epithet French for the very darkest roast style. And, very generally, southern Europeans roast their coffee darker than northern Europeans. I will leave the question of whether darkness of roast correlates to the relative intensity of nocturnal habits among the various nations of coffee drinkers to those who may want to consider the issue over their second cup of dark-roast coffee.“

  „Contrary to public misconception, the espresso process does not create a higher caffine drink. However, the other half of coffee production is the roasting. The Espresso Roast and French Roast bring more oils (and flavor) out in the beans. The roasting process, in turn, impacts the caffine content.“

  „Brew: Deep brown with slightly sharp aroma finish. Smooth, with sharp aroma of dark roast but no bitterness. It’s as smooth as the roasters claim: unlike most French Roasts, I can drink a whole pot of this, non-stop, without ODing on the dark roast quality.“
