Best Water Temperature for Light Roast Coffee

Light roast coffee is a bit tricky to brew. Conventional thought is that with a lighter roast coffee you should use hotter water. But, that's not always the case. On today's video, we blind tested 5 different water temperatures with the same light roast coffee. The results were interesting. Which was the best temperature?

Was actually shook to find out that 100c was the best one!

Thanks! What I've noticed: if coffee was roasted like a week ago or less, it's usually not tasty if I brew with boiling water. But if it is a bit older, usually no problem with 100°C

Always good to have proper blind tastings, nice one😊! Interesting i saw elsewhere how much cooler the actual coffee grounds are in a v60 once the water hits and starts to soak in, even if starting with boiling water. Seems 'burning' the grounds may be less of a risk than feared, esp with lighter roasts

Great video! Contact time and grind quality also play a huge role in extraction, I'm sure you know this!! Lately I've been finding that I'm brewing most everything around 205-208F and some funky coffees down around 200F. Even the super light Nordic stuff I'm doing in that 205-208F range and just playing with contact time with grind adjustments, filter papers, and brewers. Keep up the great work!

It all comes down to preference but in general, for espresso at least, you want to go hotter the lighter the roast. I like lighter roasts at 96c and dark roasts at 85c!

Always just slightly below boil temperature. I keep the water kettle on a low flame and pour small portions of water onto the coffee in a filter. The water will cool while it sits in and on the coffee-grounds, so may as well (the way I do) use water as near to boil as possible. Never do check the temperatures using any thermometer. This been working fine for years (for ME, anyway).

Once you've got a formula figured out, there's no need to check the water temp. Unless, of course, you ever feel like experimenting :D

I like 205f/96c on my cosori for coffee roasted in the full city to full city plus range and 195f/90c in the Vienna range. Not much of a light roast drinker.

If you would have told me 96c for full city 3 years ago I would have thought it was too hot. These days, I'm inclined to agree.

@@thestudio.coffee Three years ago I wouldn't have known what full city was. Three months ago I wouldn't have known what temperature I was brewing at either. I have always been a coffee drinker, since around the age of 11/12 years old. My grandparents always had a pot of coffee on at any given time (something like maxwell house in a bunn machine). Over the years I have gotten into coffee further and further albeit slowly. Anyway, I'm still learning so I enjoy these kinds of videos. Keep up the good work, it is appreciated.
