Mastering Light Roasts: The SR800’s Secret to Nordic Perfection

Here’s something to stir your curiosity: Light roasts are the espresso of the coffee world—intense, complex, and wildly misunderstood.

It’s fermented with white grapes left in contact with their skins, a process that imbues it with amber hues, tannic grip, and a flavor profile that defies categorization.
