The Starbucks Roast. Each coffee requires a slightly different roast to reach its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavour. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles, so finding your favourite is easy. Medium Roast is, as you might have guessed, in the middle of the Starbucks roast spectrum. Smooth and balanced, these coffees are perfect for every coffee break. They have rich, approachable flavours.
