Crystal Eye Dark Roast

Timemore Crystal Eye Timemore by Timemore

Timemore's Crystal Eye guide adapts the cone for dark-roasted coffee by lowering temperature and limiting extraction. It is intended to preserve caramel and chocolate sweetness, giving a rounded cup without amplifying bitterness, ash, or dryness.

Notes

Preheat the brewer despite using cooler brew water, as stable heat improves repeatability. Pour gently to avoid dislodging fines from brittle dark-roast grounds; coarsen the grind if the finish is smoky or drying, and tighten it only for sourness.
