Light, medium or dark roast: which one to choose?

Roast level shapes the profile of the drink. There is no universally better level: the choice depends on your taste and your brewing method.
Light roast
In our line, Deleite is a light roast option, made for those who enjoy a more delicate cup. It tends to show the character of the origin in more detail.
Medium roast
Sunrise, Honey, Natural and House Blend are medium roasts, with different profiles depending on the coffee and its process. It is the most versatile ground: it works well in almost any method.
Dark roast
Europeo and the Economy Line are dark roast options, suited to those looking for a more intense experience. They hold up better against milk and sugar without disappearing.
For espresso
At Café Nueva Generación we use Sunrise and Europeo for espresso, offering two intensity options for the same method.
If you drink coffee black, a light or medium roast will give you more nuance. If you drink it with milk, a medium or dark holds its ground better.
