  • Linea Mini - Best temperature for dark roasts

    Recently picked up a Linea Mini. Preferred roast is dark. The machine comes set at the default of 93.5 degrees celsius. Wondering what the general consensus is for best temperature for dark roasts?

    The usual answer to these sort of questions is “let your taste buds decide”. But I’ll go out on a limb and say lower temps for darker roasts. I find lighter roasts are too acidic at lower temps so I bump up the temp for them and then drop it again for darker roasts. YMMV.

      My advice would be to leave it at the default 93.5 for now. Get your grind and puck prep right first, then you can experiment with temperature last.

      I drink a large variety of coffee's, and rarely do I venture outside 93-95C. I can only recall one time when I had a particularly dark roast that I had to drop down to ~90C to get it drinkable...but to be honest the roast just wasn't great.

        I dropped from 94 to 92. I think it's better? LOL.
