December Dripper

Dark Roast

Bettr Coffee's guide presents this gentler profile for December's dripper, pairing cooler brewing with restricted flow. It seeks sufficient sweetness and body while limiting the bitter, roasty extraction these coffees can yield.

Notes

Brew at 88°C and keep agitation minimal after the bloom. Start fully closed, then use the first restricted setting for the main drawdown. If roast bitterness persists, coarsen slightly; if the cup is flat, raise extraction cautiously.
