Japanese Siphon

Dark Roast

Japanese Siphon Traditional by Hario

Adapted from Hario's siphon guidance for more soluble dark-roasted coffee, this version moderates extraction with a coarser grind and shorter contact. It seeks a full, smooth cup with roast sweetness and limited bitterness.

Notes

Start coarser than for a light roast and reduce heat as soon as the upper chamber fills. Use restrained agitation to avoid releasing excess fines; if smoky bitterness dominates, coarsen further or remove the heat sooner.
