Which is more delicious, dark or medium coffee beans?

Coffee is a widely loved drink around the world, and choosing coffee beans that suit your taste is the key. In the market, there are two common coffee beans with different degrees of roasting: deep roasting and medium roasting. So, comparing the deep roasting and medium roasting of coffee beans, which one is more delicious?

First, let's look at deeply roasted coffee beans. These beans are usually roasted at a higher temperature and for a longer time. Due to long exposure to high temperatures, a layer of oil forms on the surface of the beans, and the color becomes very dark. The coffee beans treated in this way have characteristics such as richness, fullness, and bitterness.

However, in the context of Chinese culture, not everyone accepts or likes the word "bitter". The word "bitter" represents persistence and bravery, while in Western countries, "bitter" represents maturity and elegance.

In contrast, medium roasted coffee beans are more suitable for the general public. The temperature and time of roasting this type of coffee beans are relatively low, so there is not too much oil on the surface of the coffee beans, and the color is lighter than that of deep roasted coffee beans. The medium roasted coffee beans retain more of the original flavor, and the acidity and sweetness are more prominent.

In addition, medium roasted coffee beans also have a higher aroma content. Because they are not exposed to high temperatures too much, the aromatic substances contained in them are preserved. When we taste medium roasted coffee, we can smell a rich and strong aroma.

In summary, choosing between deep and medium is a subjective question. If you like a strong, bitter taste with a certain oily feeling, dark roasting may be suitable for you; if you prefer obvious sour and sweet, prominent original flavor and want to enjoy a fragrant and rich aroma, medium roasting may be your favorite choice.
