Torch Donut Dripper

Medium Roast Balanced

Torch Donut Dripper Misc pourover by Torch

Torch's own recipe shifts the Donut Dripper toward medium roast with warmer water than its dark-roast preparations. The large outlet and internal ribs create a steep-and-drain character aimed at balanced sweetness, body, and clarity.

Notes

Fold a trapezoidal paper to sit securely against the ribs and rinse it well. Use 90°C to draw sweetness from medium roast, keeping the pour even across the bed; grind coarser if the cup loses clarity or finishes dry.
