Bungalow is all about depth, warmth, and balance, so a medium-dark roast is the perfect way to bring out its rich, traditional flavors without losing complexity. Here’s how we approach it:
The Roast Profile
• Slow & steady development – We extend the Maillard phase to build deep caramelization, drawing out those dark chocolate and caramel tones without veering into bitterness.
• Careful with the crack – We push slightly past first crack but stop before things get too roasty, keeping the fig-like sweetness intact while rounding out acidity.
• Smooth & full-bodied – The goal is a creamy, velvety mouthfeel with lingering richness, perfect for both black coffee drinkers and those who love a splash of milk.
What You’ll Taste
• Dark Chocolate – Think cocoa nibs meets a melted chocolate bar, rich and slightly bittersweet.
• Caramel – A deep, buttery sweetness that gives the cup smoothness and balance.
• Fig – A jammy, dried fruit richness that keeps the coffee from tasting flat or too heavy.
