Dark roast coffee is considered bitter compared to medium and light roast. However there is delicious bitter and then there is over roasted/burnt or stale bitter. This is always a challenge especially when you do not use sugar/sweetener. So happy we found Skippack Coffee Roasters because their dark roast never disappoints. It always deep, full bodied and smooth. It has the perfect subtle hints of vanilla, dark cherry and cocoa. If you have always avoided dark roast you should give this a try. Dark roast is also less acidic.
