Light Roast
by Tricolate for Tricolate original source (tricolate.com)
Tricolate's brewing guide uses a single pour for light-roasted coffee, relying on the flat bed, shower screen, and no-bypass body to regulate flow. It targets high, uniform extraction with vivid sweetness, articulate acidity, and a clean finish.
Before you start
You need
- Tricolate
- Scale
- Water at 96 °C (205 °F)
Prepare
- Add 15g (0.5 oz) of coffee and level the bed.
- Fit the dispersion screen over the bed.
Notes from Tricolate
Use hot water and a fine, uniform grind for dense light roasts, but keep the bed level so the shower screen distributes water evenly. If drawdown is excessive, coarsen slightly; if the cup is merely sharp and weak, move finer.

- Sour and thin? Grind finer
