FRENCH ROAST COFFEE

DARK ROAST Roast Strength
Our darkest roast is excellent as espresso or a strong cup of drip coffee - very well suited to French Press brewing as well. Roasted longer and hotter than our other beans to create a smoky, caramelized flavour, full body and rich, slightly bitter aftertaste.

Murchie's French Roast Coffee is perfect for someone who prefers their coffee strong or for blending with other coffees to add some extra strength to milder coffees.

Despite its name, French roast coffee does not actually originate from France. It was modeled after darker European roasts that became trendy in North America around the turn of the 19th century.

Brewing the Best (Guide)

These coffee guidelines are a starting point; modify the ratio of coffee to water, the grind, and brewing time to your taste.

If your coffee is not strong enough, increase the proportion of coffee per cup of water, grind the beans finer, or allow them to brew longer - or any combination of these factors. If your coffee is too strong, simply do the opposite.

Drip coffee or pour-over method:

Hot water is gradually poured over the coffee grounds and slowly drips through.

  • Fine to medium grind coffee
  • 1.5 to 2.5 tablespoons of coffee per cup of water

French Press:

Coffee grounds are 'steeped' in hot water, and then a filter presses down the grounds, allowing the finished coffee to be poured off.

  • Coarse grind coffee
  • 1.5 to 2.5 tablespoons of coffee per cup (e.g. 4-6 tbsp for a 4-cup French press)
  • Pour about 1/3 of the water over the coffee grinds; wait about 30 seconds and then pour in the rest
  • Wait 4-5 minutes, then push down the plunger to separate the grounds from the finished coffee, and enjoy!
