Competition Style

April Brewer April by April Coffee Roasters

April Coffee's brewer guide frames this as a competition-style profile for complex, lightly roasted coffees. Several compact pours increase contact and measured agitation, pursuing high extraction, vivid acidity, and articulate flavor clarity.

Notes

Choose a clean, dense washed light roast and keep every pulse consistent in height and placement. Aim for a measured strength around 1.30-1.40 percent TDS. If later pours stall, coarsen slightly rather than pouring more aggressively.
