American Way Coffee - Frequently Asked Questions

We sell coffee from different origins. Each origin has a unique flavor. The particular information for each product can be found in the product description. Explore our products here.

Our selection features carefully sourced beans from renowned farms and suppliers around the world, offering an array of options including single origin, specialty, espresso, organic, and flavored blends.

Coffee roasts fall into four main categories: light, medium, medium-dark, and dark. Each category encompasses various minor variations. Let's delve deeper into each one:

Light Coffee Roasts

Light roast coffees undergo shorter roasting times and lower temperatures, preserving the beans' natural flavors. At American Way coffee, our light roasts are heated to temperatures ranging between 408-412°F. This method accentuates the inherent tastes of the beans, making it ideal for showcasing single origin coffees.

Medium Coffee Roasts

Medium roast coffee strikes a perfect balance – not too strong, not too mild. With a roast temperature between 412-420 degrees, it brings out just the right amount of sweetness without any bitterness. Versatile and consistently delicious, it brews beautifully using various methods.

Medium-Dark Coffee Roasts

As we progress along the roast spectrum, we encounter Medium-Dark roast coffees. These boast a bolder, richer, and darker profile compared to their predecessors.

Roasted to internal temperatures ranging from 420-432 degrees, typically nearing the second crack, these coffees exhibit decreased acidity, heightened body, and visible oils on the bean surface.

French press brewing is particularly suited to medium-dark roasts, accentuating their robust body and rich flavors. Opt for a coarse grind to prevent sediment due to the metal filter's finer grind sizes.

Dark Coffee Roasts

If you crave bold, smoky flavors and a full-bodied brew, dark roast coffees are your ideal match. These robust roasts boast an oily surface and a distinct bitterness. Roasted beyond the second crack, typically between 432-440 degrees, they offer a caramelized sweetness and European-inspired richness. Enjoy the allure of dark roasts with free shipping on every order!
