What the roaster tells us.

Medium & Heroic is a South American medium roast in Tayst’s compostable Keurig pods, and it’s the one Tayst coffee with a named origin. Tayst describes a smooth cup with bold flavor and a hint of brightness, sweet with a slightly tangy edge. It’s Rainforest Alliance certified, and the pods use a mesh bottom for more even extraction. Boxes come in 40, 50 or 60 pods. If you already like Tayst’s Medium & Magnificent, this is the brighter option.

The people behind this coffee

Meet Tayst

Tayst's story starts with an everyday question: can convenient coffee still be something you look forward to drinking? The company describes taste and sustainability as the ideas behind its single-serve approach, but its selection also includes ground and whole bean coffee. That matters if you like the brand's straightforward style and prefer using your own grinder. You don't have to use a pod machine to explore it. Alongside options for Keurig and Nespresso, the shop offers whole bean profiles with names that point toward the kind of cup Tayst wants to deliver. The focus is a coffee routine that fits ordinary days.
