coarse sand, or kosher salt — the light roast is dense, so err coarse and hot. gentle pours; the fruit bruises easily.

dialing in

  • keep the kettle low — the stream should land softly, not dig into the bed.
  • pour in slow circles from the center out, and stay off the paper.
  • if the cup tastes sour, grind a little finer next time. if it tastes bitter, a little coarser.
  • change one thing per brew, so you know what did it.
