What This Coffee Tastes Like

French Roast Blend is a bold, full-bodied dark roast crafted for those who enjoy deep intensity and classic roast character. Built on a base of Brazilian and Honduran coffees, it delivers a strong, satisfying cup with low acidity and a heavy mouthfeel.

This blend is designed for drinkers who prefer richness over brightness, offering a familiar and comforting profile that works well across multiple brew methods. It is a dependable choice for anyone seeking a traditional dark coffee with presence and weight.

Best suited for drip brewing, moka pot, and espresso-style preparation.

Roast Profile

Dark Roast

Roasted deep to a French roast level, this blend emphasizes dark cocoa richness, roasted almond depth, and charred caramel sweetness. The extended roast reduces acidity while building body and intensity, creating a bold cup with a lingering, smoky finish.

The result is a classic dark roast profile that is strong, smooth, and assertive without becoming harsh.

COFFEE QUESTIONS

Questions, answered

The things people ask us most about this coffee.

What does it taste like?

Bold, rich, and smooth, with dark chocolate, smoky depth, and hazelnut. A classic deep, dark roast with very low acidity and a heavy body.

Which brew methods suit it best?

Espresso, French press, drip machine, and moka pot. A slightly coarser grind for French press or drip keeps it smooth.

Does it make good espresso?

Yes. Its heavy body and smoky depth cut cleanly through milk and give a strong, classic dark-roast shot.

Is this a good coffee for beginners?

Yes, if you enjoy strong, smoky dark roasts. It is assertive but stays smooth rather than harsh.

How should I grind my coffee for my brew method?

Choose your grind at checkout, or select whole bean and grind at home. As a guide: fine for espresso, medium for pour over and drip, and coarse for French press.

We roast weekly in small batches in Ottawa, and your order ships within 3 business days of being placed, so your coffee reaches you soon after its roast for peak flavour.

Every coffee is available as whole bean or ground to your brew method. Whole bean stays fresher longer; ground is ready to brew right away.

Keep it in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Avoid the fridge, and use it within a few weeks of opening for the best flavour.

Can I subscribe and save?

Yes. Choose a subscription at checkout to get fresh coffee delivered on your schedule. You can adjust or cancel anytime per our subscription policy.
