Notes

Dark roasts are more soluble and extract faster than light roasts. The lower 88°C temperature and 3-minute steep prevent harsh bitterness. Stir only once at the beginning -- dark roasts need less agitation. If the brew tastes ashy or bitter, try 85°C. If it tastes flat, try 90°C. Serve immediately and decant any excess to avoid continued extraction.
