About this episode

This episode discusses the limitations of ultra light roast coffees and their impact on flavor.

Ultra light roast coffees have high clarity, preserve volatile flavors, and roasted in a way to minimize roast flavor. That sounds like a perfect cup, however, there are some limitations to that style of roasting. In this episode we unpack a few ways ultra light roasts are limiting and may not be the coffee for what you want to do.
