Dark Roast Coffees Are Impressive - But Can We Drink Them?

Dark roast coffee — bold, smoky, bitter, or brilliant? In this extended directors cut tasting, brewing expert Kevin Sinnott and coffee legend Kenneth Davids sit down for nearly 90 minutes to tackle one of coffee’s most polarizing styles: the dark roast. Together they taste and debate three iconic coffees: ☕ Starbucks Sumatra Dark Roast — famous for its earthy power and big, bracing finish. ☕ Peet’s Major Dickason’s Blend — the classic Bay Area dark roast, smoother but surprisingly “timid” in today’s cup. ☕ Fundamental Coffee’s Humbucker Blend — a modern dark roast built from Colombia, Guatemala, and Sumatra beans. Along the way, Ken and Kevin break down roast science (first crack vs. second crack), show how milk changes flavor and texture, and reveal why some dark roasts lose body even as they get darker. Expect fiery opinions, tasting surprises, and plenty of laughs about whether “bold” is just another word for burnt. If you’ve ever wondered whether dark roast coffee is really stronger, better, or just misunderstood, this is the deep-dive you need. Ken Davids has been involved in coffee since the early 1970s and has published four books on coffee, including Home Roasting: Romance and Revival, now in its second edition, and Coffee: A Guide to Buying, Brewing and Enjoying, which has sold nearly 250,000 copies in five editions. His most recent book is 21st Century Coffee: A Guide. This series is hosted by brewing expert Kevin Sinnott. Kevin is a Chicagoland comic trained by Second City. He is also the host and creator of Coffee Con Festival, a roving coffee festival established in 2011 that has hosted over twenty festivals nationwide in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco. 00:00:00 - 00:04:30 Dark Roast Intro: why coffee lovers feud over roast levels 00:04:30 - 00:14:30 Roast Science 101: first crack vs second crack 00:14:30 - 00:26:30 Tasting #1: Starbucks Sumatra 00:26:30 - 00:40:00 Tasting #2: Peet’s Major Dickason’s—smoother, “timid” d 00:40:00 - 00:53:30 Tasting #3: Fundamental “Humbucker” blend—balanced 00:53:30 - 01:08:00 Milk/Half-and-Half Test: sweetness, viscosity, finish 01:08:00 - 01:20:00 Extreme Darks: when “body” drops and notes blur 01:20:00 - 01:29:32 Final takeaways: who dark roast suits & how to brew it best #darkroast #darkroastcoffee #coffeetasting #coffeeexperts #specialtycoffee #coffeereview #coffeeaddict #coffeetruth #coffeetime #starbuckssumatra #peetsmajordickasons #fundamentalcoffee #humbuckerblend #starbuckscoffee #peetscoffee #sumatracoffee #colombiancoffee #guatemalancoffee
