Ever stood in front of your coffee stash wondering, “Which roast should fuel today’s adventure?” Whether you’re gearing up for a backwoods Squatchin’ trek, a sunrise hike, or a quiet campfire morning, choosing the right coffee roast can make—or break—the experience.
At Sasquatch Coffee, we believe every adventure deserves a brew as bold as the journey. Here’s how to choose the best coffee roast for outdoor adventures, no matter where the trail leads.
Light, Medium, or Dark Roast: What’s Best for the Outdoors?
Every coffee roast has its own personality—kind of like Sasquatch after a long night in the woods.
☀️ Light Roast Coffee: Best for Early Starts & Focus
Light roast coffee is roasted for a shorter time, preserving bright acidity and crisp flavor notes.
Best for:
- Early-morning hikes
- Long trail days that require mental focus
- Adventurers who want a lively, energetic cup
If you’re hitting the trail before sunrise, light roast coffee delivers a clean jolt that helps you stay sharp.
🌲 Medium Roast Coffee: Balanced & All-Day Reliable
Medium roast coffee (like our Ape Canyon) offers a smooth balance between acidity and body, making it one of the most versatile choices.
Best for:
- All-day sipping
- Road trips and riverbank campouts
- Coffee breaks between scouting for mysterious tracks
This is the go-to roast for outdoor lovers who want a dependable cup anytime, anywhere.
🔥 Dark Roast Coffee: Bold, Strong & Campfire-Approved
Dark roast coffee brings rich, bold flavor with smoky undertones—perfect for rugged conditions.
Best for:
- Cold mornings in the woods
- Campfire storytelling
- Anyone who loves a strong, full-bodied brew
If your coffee needs to hit hard and warm you up fast, dark roast is your trail companion.
Best Coffee for Camping & Cold Mornings: Howl in the Night
When it comes to outdoor adventures, Howl in the Night is our top pick. This bold dark roast is legendary among Squatchers for its deep flavor, strong body, and stay-awake-in-the-wild energy.
Prefer something smoother and more balanced? Ape Canyon is a classic choice that pairs perfectly with relaxed mornings and steady exploration.
