Intensity indicates how strong the coffee flavor is perceived. An intense coffee appears strong, full-bodied, and sometimes slightly bitter. A less intense coffee tastes milder, softer, and more restrained. This rating helps assess how "strong" the coffee appears on the palate – regardless of its caffeine content.
The degree of roasting indicates how long and intensely the coffee beans were roasted. Light roasts usually taste milder and fruitier with slightly more acidity. Medium roasts are balanced, often nutty or chocolatey. Dark roasts taste robust, have hardly any acidity, and tend to have bitter, full-bodied notes. The degree of roasting therefore directly influences the character of the coffee.
The acidity level describes how fresh and fruity the coffee tastes. A high acidity level often means a vibrant, fruity flavor, such as citrus. A low acidity level tends to taste milder and smoother. This information helps you better assess the taste—it doesn't say anything about whether the coffee is "acidic."
