Notes

Dark roasts are highly soluble — they extract quickly and easily. Standard pour-over temperatures (92-96°C) over-extract dark roasts, producing bitter, ashy flavors. By reducing temperature to 85°C and using a coarser grind, you get the chocolatey sweetness of dark roast without the harshness. Two large pours minimize agitation.
