Blue Bottle Dripper

Dark Roast

Blue Bottle's pour-over technique adapted for dark roasts. A lower brewing temperature and gentle spiral pulses preserve the coffee's body and chocolate-caramel character while limiting bitterness.

Notes

Blue Bottle recommends 90°C for darker roasts. The dripper's flat bottom and single drain hole create a slower, more immersive brew. Gentle pours only.
