Roasted Almonds coffee in London
3 speciality roasts from 3 London roasters feature roasted almonds notes.
Roasted almond in the cup presents as a warm, dry, slightly fatty nuttiness with a gentle bitterness that sits comfortably at the back of the palate. It differs from raw or buttery nut notes by carrying a toasted, almost savoury quality that lingers into the finish. This character typically develops through the Maillard reaction during roasting, where natural sugars and amino acids in the bean interact to produce complex, roasted compounds, and it is particularly associated with medium to medium-dark roast levels.
Roasted almonds in coffee present a warm, nutty sweetness with subtle depth, often complemented by the coffee's inherent body. This flavour note predominantly emerges from Brazilian beans processed using the natural method, which allows the fruit to dry on the bean and develop rich, toasted characteristics. Three London roasters—Union, Moresso, and Acorns—currently feature this distinctive profile across their collections.

How roasted almonds notes develop
Coffees from Brazil are perhaps most consistently associated with roasted almond notes, particularly those processed using the natural or pulped natural method, where extended contact with the fruit concentrates the bean's inherent nuttiness. Central American origins, including Honduras and Guatemala, often produce this note as well, especially in washed coffees where cleaner processing allows the bean's own character to come through clearly. Robusta blends and espresso-focused roasts from a variety of origins can also tend towards this profile, as the roast itself plays a significant role in developing the note.
What to look for
On a bag or menu, look for tasting notes that include terms such as "roasted nuts", "hazelnut", "praline", or "marzipan", as these sit within the same flavour family and often appear alongside roasted almond. Medium roast Brazilian single origins and traditional espresso blends are reliable places to start. Espresso and moka pot preparation tend to amplify this note particularly well, as the concentrated extraction and heat draw out the dry, toasted quality that defines it.
