light roast / mild
I assume they mean a mild kind of coffee - i.e. less acidity/roasted less long/possibly less caffeine/a blend that is less bold.
Some or all of these could apply. Perhaps you know some background information on this coffee that could confirm any of these aspects?
Best,
Eva

Then perhaps
"with a pleasant taste" "with a pleasant note"
If you put either into google, a bunch of food and wine and coffee comes up. "Pleasant" could convey the "not cheap and nasty"without saying anything much about the coffee's distinct qualities.

: although the lighter the roast, the more caffeine and acidity, but I see where you're going with it

: Probably. http://tinyurl.com/2w9yzp "light roasted coffee" googles well. "mild und bekömmlich" would be "mild and light", I guess. "A light and mild coffee. The perfect way to start your day. ": http://www.gourmet-coffee.com/home.php?cat=30

: a light roast, lightly roasted. I see no reference to taste or smell in your context

tasty and aromatic
Bekömmlich is such a nice, but untranslateable word! Normally digestible (eating and drinking) and beneficial (general) are used, as far as I know. When it comes to coffee, well aromatic normally says it all - when it smells well it tastes well and digests well. I therefore think we should translate the mood and not the word!

digestible /soothing
in Germany coffees are often sold on their "digestibility" i.e. not causing stomach acidity, however you can't put that on the label so for that "soothing" is better

Never bitter, overpowering or shocking, you can count on this Peruvian Organic to deliver a completely soft and soothing cup.

: In the same vein, digestible sounds medicinal like something one takes for "regulation"

sophisticated roast
After reading your notes and other comments, I wonder if sophisticated might work? In the sense that they take their time to roast it, and the result is elegant and sophisticated on the palate. I also find this more werbewirksam than "agreeable", "tasty" or "digestible."

Truly a sophisticated roast, with a taste of the bold flavors of the great American West but, with the refined elegance of only a superb bold roast can offer.

"Sophisticated roast" hat mir übrigens sehr gut gefallen, aber leider hat es hier nicht gepasst (weil der Kaffee zu preiswert ist...). Merke ich mir aber fürs nächste Mal!
