Torch Donut Dripper

Light Roast

Torch Donut Dripper Misc pourover by Kurasu

Kurasu's published approach adapts the fast-draining Torch Donut to light-roasted coffee with a finer grind. The broad, shallow bed gains enough contact for delicate aromatics and sweetness while retaining a bright, clear finish.

Notes

Use a uniform fine grind and distribute it evenly across the shallow bed, since thin spots drain first. If acidity feels sharp, tighten the grind slightly; if the finish becomes papery or drying, rinse more thoroughly and coarsen.
