Dark Roast
French Roast
Dark and smoky, without the burn.
The roast
Fired on the Royal drums, finished with smoke.
Our French Roast is fired on CR's antique Royal drum roasters, then finished with a tighter airflow that traps a touch more smoke inside the drum. The result is a bold, aromatic cup that is dark roast but not as dark as you think, with smooth depth instead of char. The Royal No. 6 drums spin slowly, letting sugars caramelize before the beans ever get oily. Fans who thought they "didn't like dark roast" keep coming back; the cup is rich, full-bodied, and finishes clean.
