Kono Dark Roast — Ultra-Low

by Kurasu

Kono Meimon method for dark roast coffees. Even lower temperature (85°C) and coarser grind. The Kono's center-pour technique naturally limits agitation for a smooth, non-bitter dark roast.

Notes

The Kono dripper's center-pour technique is ideal for dark roasts because it minimizes agitation. Combined with low temperature and coarse grind, this prevents the bitter, ashy flavors that plague dark roasts in other pour-over methods. Produces a smooth, chocolatey cup with full body.
