Dark Roast Low-Temp V60

Open in app

V60 recipe specifically engineered for dark roasts. Low temperature (85°C) and coarse grind prevent the bitterness and ashiness that plague dark roasts in typical pour-over. Two large pours for minimal agitation.

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.
