Light Roast (light profile)

A light roast profile targets Agtron values of 70-95, stopping just after or at first crack. The bean surface is dry, matte, and light brown. Caffeine content is marginally higher than dark roast. Acidity is brightest; body is lightest. Best extraction: 90-96 degrees C water, slightly finer grind, 1:15-1:17 ratio. Common descriptors: lemon, peach, apricot, bergamot, floral, tea-like. African and Central American origins shine at light profiles.
