Clever Dark Roast

Clever Dripper L Clever by Kaldi's Coffee

Kaldi's Coffee tailors this Clever Dripper method to highly soluble dark roasts through cooler water, a coarser grind, and shorter immersion. The restrained extraction seeks smooth chocolate notes without ashy bitterness.

Notes

Brew at 88°C with a coarse grind and release at 2 min. If smoke or dryness dominates, coarsen before reducing temperature; if the cup tastes flat and hollow, move slightly finer while keeping agitation low.
