Different roasts of coffee matter because they significantly influence the flavor, aroma, and overall experience of the coffee.
Light roast coffee is roasted for a shorter duration compared to darker roasts. This process typically results in beans that have a light brown color. The bean's natural flavors are more prominent in light roasts, showcasing the unique characteristics of the coffee's origin, such as fruity, floral, or herbal notes. Light roasts also tend to have a brighter acidity and a lighter body. Recommended to be enjoyed as a pour over or drip.
Medium roasted coffee refers to beans that have been roasted to a balanced combination of sweetness with mild acidity. Medium roast is a popular choice for many coffee drinkers. This roast is suitable for various brewing methods, and is the best roast for espresso.
Dark roasted coffee refers to coffee beans that have been roasted for a longer period at higher temperatures compared to other roast levels. The longer roasting time generally reduces the acidity of the coffee, which can appeal to those who prefer a smoother finish. These roasts are often favored for brewing methods that highlight their strength, such as espresso machines or French presses. Each of these styles can produce a robust cup that many coffee drinkers enjoy for its full-bodied experience.

Washed process coffee beans, also known as wet process coffee, begins with the removal of the coffee cherry's outer layer. The beans are then soaked in water to separate them from any remaining mucilage, and ferment. After fermentation, the beans are thoroughly washed and then dried.
Natural process coffee beans have a more straight forward process. The ripe coffee cherries are harvested and laid out in the sun to dry whole. The cherries remain intact, allowing the beans to absorb sugars and flavors from the fruit as they dry. This process can take several weeks, depending on the climate and humidity conditions. Once the cherries are dry, the outer fruit layer is removed, revealing the green coffee beans inside.
