Selecting a Coffee

Thanks to the availability of high quality coffees from origins around the world and terrific roasters, we are able to pick and choose coffees that satisfy the most picky of palates.  Consider how and when you drink coffee to select one that meets your needs by origin, acidity, flavor, and degree of roast.

Darker roasted coffees tend to have less acidity than lighter roasts.  Low acidity coffee is softer up front compared to acidity coffees.  Darker roasts are also stronger roast flavor which are good for drinkers who need to add milk and/or sugar to their cup.  These coffees are generally better for most home auto drip brewers because they have an inherent strength that performs well with most home brewer design limitations (most units can not get water hot enough).  French Press and pour-over brewing produces very strong brew with these types.  These coffees include:

Medium roasted coffees are ideal for the best quality home auto drip brewers as well as French Press and pour-over.  These are also very nice with a little added milk (hold the sugar!).  These coffees tend to have a light to medium acidity which is very round and complementary to the coffees flavor, body, and lengthy finish.   These include:
