Please consider these facts when purchasing coffee.


Roasting changes the character and color of beans. The terms
below are used world-wide to designate the roast color of coffees.

Light City Roast The bean is not fully developed; the color is cinnamon, the flavor thin.	Viennese Roast Between French and Full City and often is a blend of the two. It has just a hint of oil on the surface.
City Roast Sometimes called American Roast, it is most widely used in this country. More commercially used by name brands; generally yields a flat, bland taste.	French Roast Oiliness is quite apparent on the surface; color is burnt umber, like semi-sweet chocolate. Flavor is very different from light roast; it hints of Espresso, but remains smooth.
Full City Roast A slightly longer roast; color is dark brown with no oil on the surface, produces deeper, rich beverage.	Italian/Expresso Roast This is the heaviest and darkest roast;  The surface is oily and shiny, the flavor is Italian in character.
