The difference between light, medium, and dark roast coffee is the amount of time the coffee beans are roasted. Light roast coffee is roasted for the shortest amount of time, resulting in a lighter flavor and higher acidity. Medium roast coffee is roasted for a bit longer, resulting in balanced flavors and acidity. Dark roast coffee is roasted for the longest amount of time, resulting in a bold, rich flavor and low acidity.
Coffee pods are single-serving coffee containers that are typically used in pod-based coffee machines. Ethical Bean Coffee offers biodegradable and compostable coffee pods that are made from renewable resources and have a lower environmental impact than traditional plastic coffee pods.
