Light Roast

Kalita 101 Kalita by Kurasu

Kurasu's light-roast guidance is adapted to the Kalita 101 with hotter water and a finer grind to extract dense beans effectively. The goal is a vivid single cup that develops floral and fruit notes with sweetness rather than sourness.

Notes

Use 96°C, preheat the ceramic thoroughly, and begin slightly finer than a standard medium grind. If acidity feels sharp and sweetness is absent, grind finer; if the finish dries, reduce agitation before coarsening.
