Italian Roast is much darker and oilier than a French Roast and often preferred in Italy. If a coffee is described as being a French or Italian roast, it isnât because they were grown or roasted in these countries, just that the roaster utilized this generalized roast level for that blend of beans.
Although the Starbucks roast is generally not as dark as the early Peetâs roasts. Most of the time when you buy coffee beans in North America, you are not buying a dark roast at all. The beans you have at home are more likely to be a Medium Brown or Medium Dark brown.
