Coffee is kind of our favorite topic.
So welcome back to our little coffee corner — where we share what we’re brewing, what we’re loving, and a few things you might not know about the coffee in your cup.
☕ This Month’s Coffee Corner: Light Roast vs. Dark Roast
One of the most common coffee questions:
"What’s the difference between light and dark roast?"
While darker roasts are roasted longer — creating deeper, bolder flavors — light roasts tend to highlight more of the coffee’s original character and origin.
Neither is “better.” It just depends what kind of cup you’re after.
🌙 What We’re Brewing Right Now
Dark Roast
Our dark roast is a Nicaraguan coffee — rich, comforting, and perfect if you like a fuller-bodied cup with deeper roast character.
Light Roast: La Bastilla
Our rotating light roast is currently La Bastilla, a light roast, single origin, Nicaraguan.
Single origins are fun because they let one coffee speak for itself — showcasing the character of a specific farm or region rather than a blend.
La Bastilla brings a lighter, brighter experience to the cup and is a great reminder that coffee can be complex, delicate, and incredibly interesting.
🧊 And Yes… We Think About Iced Coffee Too
As the weather warms up, our iced coffee deserves a little spotlight.
We brew it using a medium roast Peruvian coffee — balanced, smooth, and refreshing whether you take it black or dressed up with your favorite flavors.
Because good coffee shouldn’t have a season.
✨ Coffee Tip of the Month
Coffee tasting different at home than it does in the shop? Fresh grinding makes a bigger difference than most people think. Even a simple grinder upgrade can completely change your morning cup.
And if you ever have coffee questions, ask us — we genuinely love talking coffee.
See you soon,
The Starry Night Team ☕✨
