Peaberry coffee is available in full, dark, medium and light roast. They are all different but provide magnificent coffee. To get light roast, beans are roasted briefly and removed once the first crack happens. The coffee made from this roast is bitter, and contains higher acidity than medium roast. Medium roast offers sweet mixtures and has balanced acidity.
Full roast is removed after a second crack, but the beans may be left to roast for a few minutes to produce strong and tasty coffee. On the other hand, to get dark roast, beans are left to roast until they are almost burning. They make smoky dark, intense and tastier coffee.
