At Cambio Roasters, we take pride in offering 100% organic medium roast coffee sourced from the finest regions worldwide, ensuring quality and sustainability in every cup.
Why Medium Roast?
Medium roast coffee occupies a middle ground between light and dark roasts, making it the go-to option for those seeking a harmonious brew. Here’s why medium roast is celebrated:
-
Balanced Flavor Profile: Medium roast beans are roasted to achieve a balanced flavor that highlights the bean’s natural characteristics while adding subtle caramelization.
-
Smooth Acidity: Unlike the bright acidity of light roasts or the intense bitterness of dark roasts, medium roasts offer a smooth acidity that enhances the coffee’s taste without overwhelming the palate.
-
Rich Aroma: The roasting process unlocks rich, inviting aromas that make every sip a delightful experience.
-
Versatility: Medium roast coffee adapts well to various brewing methods, from French press to pour-over, ensuring a great cup regardless of your preferred technique.
The Art of Roasting Medium Coffee
The journey of a medium roast bean begins at the coffee farm, where careful cultivation and harvesting lay the groundwork for quality. At Cambio Roasters, we source our beans from regions like Latin America and Africa, known for producing premium coffee with unique flavor notes.
Precision in Roasting
Our expert roast masters utilize small-batch roasting techniques to ensure consistency and precision. Medium roasts are typically heated to an internal temperature between 400°F and 430°F, allowing the beans to develop their characteristic brown color without reaching the dark roast’s oil release stage. This process preserves the nuanced flavors of the bean while adding a layer of complexity.
Tasting Notes of Medium Roast Coffee
Medium roast coffee boasts a flavor profile that is both approachable and sophisticated. Depending on the origin of the beans, you can expect notes such as:
-
Chocolate and Caramel: A subtle sweetness that enhances the overall richness.
-
Nutty Undertones: Common in blends featuring Central American beans.
-
Fruity Hints: Beans from African regions often carry citrus or berry-like notes, providing a pleasant tanginess.
At Cambio Roasters, we offer medium roast blends that capture these characteristics, creating a brew that is both satisfying and memorable.
Brewing the Perfect Cup
To get the most out of medium roast coffee, it’s important to use the right brewing technique. Follow these steps for a flavorful and smooth cup:
-
Choose Quality Beans: Opt for organic, specialty-grade beans like those from Cambio Roasters, ensuring a superior taste and ethical sourcing.
-
Grind Fresh: Grind the beans just before brewing to preserve their aroma and flavor. A medium grind works best for drip machines and pour-over methods.
-
Measure Precisely: Use a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:16 for optimal extraction. Adjust according to your taste preferences.
-
Mind the Water Temperature: Brew with water heated between 195°F and 205°F for the best results.
-
Experiment with Brew Methods: Whether you prefer a classic drip machine, a French press, or an Aeropress, medium roast coffee performs exceptionally across all brewing styles.
Health Benefits of Medium Roast Coffee
Coffee is not just a morning ritual; it’s a source of numerous health benefits. Medium roast coffee, in particular, is packed with antioxidants and nutrients that can enhance your overall well-being.
-
Rich in Antioxidants: Medium roasts contain compounds like chlorogenic acids, which help reduce inflammation and combat oxidative stress.
-
Improved Digestibility: The balanced acidity of medium roast coffee is easier on the stomach compared to darker roasts, making it a better option for those with sensitive digestion.

Boosted Metabolism: Like all coffee, medium roasts contain caffeine, which can increase metabolic rate and improve focus.
