December Dripper

Light Roast

This December Dripper recipe uses the open position, a finer grind, and hot water to extract light roasts fully. Three measured spiral pours and a final swirl produce a floral, fruity cup with a clean finish.

Notes

Set the December to open position for light roasts. The finer grind compensates for faster flow, and the higher temperature ensures full extraction. Light roasts need more energy to develop sweetness.
