"Even if you use a simple French press or an old-school drip coffee maker with one button, you still have to choose the beans."
"Lighter roasts tend to be less soluble than darker roasts so you will need to do a finer grind."
"Dark roast coffee extracts easily and if you grind your coffee too fine, there will be too much surface area, leading to a bitter and astringent taste."
"Dark roast coffee beans have a deeper, more intense flavor compared to their light roast counterparts, which makes them better for making iced coffee."
Making coffee at home can be daunting, especially when deciding on beans. Grinding your own coffee is recommended for optimal flavor, with three main types of roasts: light, medium, and dark. Expert Jee Choe shares insights on grind size, noting that lighter roasts require a finer grind while darker roasts can handle coarser grinds. Using a grind that's too fine on dark roasts can result in a bitter taste. Dark roasts are ideal for iced or cold brew coffee, thanks to their intense flavor and lower acidity.
