Leighton Guest Blogs at DirtyCup: “Does The Roast Boast Most?”

Posted by Sprudge Editors on June 16, 2010

Backwoods bloggers DirtyCup.com and noted UK gadabout Stephen Leighton have joined forces to worship at the squirming, writhing blog altar of our almighty King, the Internet.

I think that the roast style has nothing to do with the brew method of the coffee, nor do I believe that you should roast coffee differently for those different styles. I think I owe it to the coffee to let it be the very best that it can, if that means playing with a profile that may not suit the majority of peoples pre conceptions of a brew method then I can live with it. What I couldn’t live with is not present the coffee the best I believe it can be.

On saying this I don’t think a roast will suit all brew methods an omniroast, but it will be what it will be, it may be inclined towards brewed or espresso. I really enjoy some times a darker roasted coffee in the filter just as some times I’ll play with a lighter more delicate bean in espresso its all part of the fun, but what I want from each cup is delicious tasty coffee that is a wonderful expression from the farmer.

The UK and the American South, together at last.
