Dark Roast
by Gota Team for Melitta 1x2 original source (melitta.com)
A dark-roast treatment for the Melitta 1x2, where the single drain already supplies generous contact time. Gentler extraction aims for chocolate-like depth and body without ashy bitterness.
Before you start
You need
- Melitta 1x2

Notes from Gota Team
Pour softly into the coffee bed and avoid washing grounds from the paper wall, since the restricted outlet needs little added agitation. If roast flavors dominate, grind coarser; if the cup lacks sweetness, tighten the grind modestly.

- Sour and thin? Grind finer
