Dark Roast

Graycano Misc pourover by Basic Barista

Basic Barista's dark-roast method adapts the heat-retentive Graycano to more soluble coffee with cooler brewing and restrained agitation. The goal is a smooth, sweet cup that preserves roast depth while avoiding harsh bitterness or a drying finish.

Notes

Preheat the brewer, then use 88°C water and a coarser grind than you would for a light roast. Keep pours low and gentle so brittle dark-roast particles do not shed excess fines. If smokiness dominates, coarsen or shorten contact; if the result is hollow, tighten the grind slightly.
