  • Light roast coffee is a vibrant, complex experience—think citrus, florals, and a tea-like body. Brewing it well takes a bit more finesse than darker roasts, but the payoff is a cup bursting with character.

    Equipment Essentials

    • Burr grinder: Crucial for a consistent, fine-to-medium grind.

    • Pour-over or AeroPress: These methods highlight the nuanced flavors.

    • Gooseneck kettle: Precision pouring helps with even extraction.

    • Scale & timer: Accuracy matters more with light roasts.

    Water Temperature

    • Use 200–205°F (93–96°C)—slightly hotter than for darker roasts.

    • Hotter water helps extract the dense, less porous beans.

    Grind Size

    • Medium-fine for pour-over or AeroPress.

    • Medium-coarse for French press (if you prefer a fuller body).

    Brew Time

    • Pour-over: 3–4 minutes.

    • AeroPress: 1–2 minutes steep, then press.

    • French press: 4–5 minutes steep.

    Coffee-to-Water Ratio

    • Start with 1:15 to 1:17 (e.g., 20g coffee to 300–340g water).

    • Adjust based on taste—lighter roasts can handle a bit more coffee.

  • Typical Flavor Profile (Light Roast, High Altitude)

    • Bright acidity: Crisp and lively, often citrusy or tart like lemon or grapefruit.

    • Fruity notes: Expect flavors like strawberry, cherry, pomegranate, or red currant, especially in natural or honey-processed beans.

    • Floral undertones: Light roasts can reveal delicate hints of jasmine, honeysuckle, or white tea.

    • Sweet finish: Balanced sweetness with touches of honey, vanilla, or caramel.

    • Clean body: Light and tea-like, with a silky or juicy mouthfeel.
