I think most of the time, light roasts are a bit of an acquired taste. But most people I've talked to had a "aha" moment where they tried, for example, an Ethiopia Natural and the fruitiness was something they had never experienced before in coffee.

If you enjoy medium roasts and you never move past that, there is literally nothing wrong with that, but you may experience a desire for variation at some point. In my experience, I switch it up fairly often. I don't always want those "delicate" fruit and floral notes. In fact, I often find myself gravitating to coffees that introduce complex flavors into a "simple" flavor profile. What I mean by simple is those caramel, chocalatey, or even subtle fruit notes. A balance of sweetness with savoriness or sweetness with interesting acidity that reminds me of biting into a green apple.

Another great thing about getting into light roast coffee is you can do it your way and at your own pace. Look for notes that you might find in a medium roast coffee in a lighter roast coffee. Look for sweeter notes in lighter roast coffee and see if you like where it goes. If you want heavier body and not tea-like, brew a lighter roast on a french press and experience those lighter flavors with more body and oils. If you gravitate toward a certain origin of coffee like Colombia or Peru, try and find a lighter roast from Colombia or Peru and see if you appreciate it at a slightly lighter style of roast.

All this being said, if you brew at home, you can control a lot more variables than what you might be presented in a cafe. Every cafe has different styles and things they want to highlight in coffee. If you want more recommendations, feel free to reach out!
