  • That equals 123 euros per kg. Which is expensive but not not surprising for high end coffee. It the price can go way higher than that.

    I usually pay around 40 USD per pound = 80 EUR per kg for what I would call entry level specialty coffee. I live the nordics btw.

    How much is the coffee at your local roasters?

  • Sorry I didn’t mean to be a snob! I just thought I’d mention that they can taste sweet as apposed to sour, which is a matter of extraction. Of course I also think that light roast is the best and will therefore be a bit of evangelist about it, we are only human.

  • You can get light roasts to taste really sweet by aiming for a little bit higher extraction, low extraction tends to be acidic. Aim for a longer total brew time. Making the grind setting courser can make it easier to controll the timing.

    Trust me, a good quality light roast is an absolute delight.
