I’ve found that darker roasts are much nicer around 195F, I mainly brew very light roast and almost all of them come out under extracted at temps below 200F

Ok, I've been doing 190F for a while so I need to given high temp a try again, thanks for helping me continue exploration

Good luck! Remember that the only real acceptance criteria in coffee brewing is “do I like it?” =)
