What it is
This is a bag of whole coffee beans roasted to a dark, intense level. The French roast process involves a longer roasting time at higher temperatures, which develops a bold flavor profile.

It comes in a substantial 680-gram package, offering plenty of coffee for regular drinkers.
How people cook with it
Whole beans provide the freshest coffee flavor when ground just before brewing. This roast is versatile for various brewing methods.
- Drip coffee maker
- French press
- Pour-over
- Espresso machine
For the best results, grind the whole beans immediately before you plan to brew your coffee. The amount of coffee to use depends on your personal preference and brewing method, but a common starting point is one to two tablespoons of ground coffee per six ounces of water. Adjust the grind size according to your brewer; a coarser grind is typically used for French presses, while a finer grind is suitable for espresso. Experiment with different ratios and grind sizes to find your ideal cup.
How it differs from similar foods
French roast beans are roasted longer and darker than medium or light roasts. This extended roasting develops a more pronounced smoky and bittersweet character. Unlike lighter roasts which highlight the bean's origin flavors, French roast emphasizes the roast itself, creating a bolder, more intense coffee taste.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the unused whole beans in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Avoid refrigeration or freezing, as this can negatively impact the coffee's flavor and aroma. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to maintain freshness for as long as possible.
