Dark coffee

  I have drank coffee for years. I started drinking coffee after I was in the Air Force. I worked the night shift at Malcom Grow Medical Center on Andrews AFB and had to find a way to stay up all night. I drank terrible-tasting coffee out of a machine that upset my stomach and tasted like old motor oil. I had to put ten sugars in it to take away the bad flavor.  I really did not start drinking coffee for pleasure until many years later and it was after I stopped using sugar that I really enjoyed the taste of my coffee and I started sampling different flavors and brands. Have you ever wondered how dark roast coffee is made? To make dark roast coffee, the beans must stay on the roasting machine until you hear a second crack (the first crack is for lighter coffee), which usually happens when the beans roast between 430 and 440 degrees. This process causes the beans to lose their moisture and become dark brown, with an oily surface. The resulting flavor is bold, smoky, chocolaty, nutty, and robust. Although the flavor is strong, it is not necessarily bitter, and the bitterness is not caused by the roasting process. Dark roasts are perfect for espresso drinks and taste great with milk or cream.

The roaster making Mellar Mercantile's "Pick of the Litter" coffee is a fourth-generation roaster with a process that removes the bitter taste and leaves a smooth coffee-drinking experience that you will enjoy each morning as you wake up and meet the day. This is my favorite coffee and I truly hope that you enjoy the flavor as much as I do each morning.  If you would like to taste a wonderful, smooth, not bitter coffee, you can purchase a bag from Mellar Mercantile at the link below.

Thank you for reading, and enjoy your coffee,
