Roasted Almond coffee in London
2 speciality roasts from 2 London roasters feature roasted almond notes.
Roasted almond in the cup presents as a warm, dry nuttiness with a slightly bitter edge, reminiscent of almonds that have been dry-roasted rather than raw or sweetened. The flavour sits in the mid-palate and often lingers into a clean, mildly astringent finish. It typically arises from the Maillard reaction during roasting, where amino acids and natural sugars in the bean develop toasted, nutty compounds, and tends to be more pronounced at medium to medium-dark roast levels.
Roasted almond brings a warm, nutty depth to the cup, offering toasted sweetness that lingers gently on the palate. This flavour note appears most frequently in coffees from Brazil and Colombia, where both natural and washed processing methods coax out these rich characteristics. In London, two roasters including Dark Arts Coffee and Goldbox have captured this appealing profile in their selections.

How roasted almond notes develop
Coffees from Brazil are often associated with roasted almond notes, particularly from the Cerrado and Sul de Minas regions, where lower acidity and dense, low-grown beans lend themselves to this kind of dry, nutty character. Natural and pulped natural processing methods typically amplify these qualities by allowing the bean to develop richer, rounder flavour compounds during drying. Certain washed coffees from Central America, such as those from Honduras or Guatemala, can also carry this note, though it tends to appear there alongside sweeter or more caramel-like qualities.
What to look for
On a bag or cafe menu, roasted almond is often listed alongside notes such as dark chocolate, brown sugar, hazelnut, or caramel, which suggests a coffee in the medium to medium-dark roast range with low to moderate acidity. Brew methods that produce a full-bodied, concentrated cup tend to bring this note forward most clearly, with espresso, moka pot, and French press all being well-suited approaches. Pour-over and filter methods can also reveal it, particularly when brewed at slightly lower temperatures that soften acidity and allow the nuttier qualities to come through.
