Toasty and roast forward with low acidity. Rounded, some chocolate. Sweeter than it is distinct: more of a winter morning than a summer day.
Flat Track build it to taste the same all year, swapping components by season rather than chasing a single lot, which is exactly what you want from the coffee you brew every day. Every recipe on this site was dialled in on Dogspeed. It is forgiving across a wide range of methods, holds a long drawdown without turning bitter, and it is the reason the flash brew comes out sweet rather than sharp.

- Water temperature
- 203F across the pour-overs, 205F for flash brew.
- Time
- Takes a long drawdown well.
- Grind
- Fellow Ode 2: V60 02 at 3.0; Yeti Rambler at 3.0; Chemex 500 g and 800 g at 3.1; AeroPress and XL at 2.2; French press at 6.0, or 5.2 if it reads thin; Moccamaster at 5.1.
- Dose and ratio
- House ratio is 55 g to 800 g in the Chemex, stronger than most published recipes, and it suits this roast.
How to drink it. Flat Track build it for milk and it shows: the body and the chocolate hold their shape, so a latte or a cortado tastes like the coffee rather than like milk. Good black too, where the toast and the low acidity come forward. Skip the sugar either way.
