Dark Roast Low-Temp V60

Barista Hustle's dark-roast V60 guidance pairs 85°C water with a coarse grind and 2 count low-agitation pours. The restrained extraction favors chocolate and caramel sweetness without bitter, smoky, or ashy edges.

Notes

Start coarse and keep both pours broad but calm; dark coffee releases solubles readily, so extra agitation can turn the finish harsh. If the cup is hollow, tighten the grind slightly before raising 85°C; if it is bitter or drying, go coarser first.
