A Better Beginning: Bright, Low Acid Light Roast Coffee
Hope Light Roast is our concept for a better beginning. This doctor-recommended light roast delivers bright, floral, and fruit-forward flavors from the best low-acid beans we have in stock. Perfect for people with acid reflux, GERD, and sensitive stomachs who prefer lighter, brighter coffee over dark roasts.

Roast Level: Light (20%)
Body: Light to medium, smooth and clean
Acidity: Low acid (gentle on stomach) with bright, lively character
Perfect For: Morning coffee, pour-over enthusiasts, light roast lovers with sensitive stomachs
Pour-Over (Recommended): Use 1:16 ratio (15g coffee to 240g water). Water at 200-205°F. Slow, circular pour. Highlights floral and fruit notes beautifully.
Chemex: 30g coffee, 500g water at 200°F. Bloom 30 seconds, pour slowly. Clean, bright, elegant cup.
Drip Coffee Maker: Standard brew setting. Light roast shines with clean brewing methods.

Hope is our Roaster's Choice Light Roast – we hand-select from the freshest, highest-quality low-acid beans available each week. Origins rotate based on what's in peak season, ensuring you always get the brightest, cleanest light roast that stays true to Hope's floral and fruit-forward profile.
This approach means every bag is fresh, every batch highlights the best of what's available, and you experience the craft of specialty light roast coffee while maintaining the low-acid, gut-friendly benefits you need.
Unlike other light roasts that can be harsh or acidic, Hope uses specially selected low-acid Arabica beans combined with precise light roasting techniques that preserve delicate floral and fruit notes while keeping acidity low. That's why gastroenterologists recommend us even for light roast lovers.

While Hope can be used for espresso, it's optimized for pour-over, Chemex, and drip methods where its bright, floral notes shine. For espresso, we recommend Bold Respect No. 3 which is specifically designed for espresso brewing.
By weight, light roast has slightly more caffeine than dark roast. Hope contains approximately 95-100mg of caffeine per 8oz cup, similar to most coffees. The key difference is Hope's low acid profile and bright flavor, not caffeine content.
Compare with Unity – Medium Roast for balanced sweetness, try Bold Respect – Dark Roast for bold intensity, or sample all three in the Flavor Discovery Pack.
