Brew Guide

Why does my coffee tastes too bitter? Too watery?

Coffee can taste too bitter if it is over-extracted, meaning that the water has been in contact with the coffee grounds for too long. This can happen if the grind is too fine, the water is too hot, or the brew time is too long. Coffee can taste too watery if it is under-extracted, meaning that the water has not been in contact with the coffee grounds for long enough. This can happen if the grind is too coarse, the water is too cool, or the brew time is too short.

What is the best method for brewing coffee at home?

Ultimately, the best method for brewing coffee at home will depend on your personal preferences and the equipment you have available. Experimenting with different methods can help you find the one that best suits your taste and lifestyle.

Can you explain what each brew method is?

Drip coffee maker: This is the most common method of brewing coffee at home. It uses a filter to separate the grounds from the water, and typically brews a full pot of coffee at a time.

French press: A French press uses a metal or nylon mesh filter to separate the grounds from the water. It is known for its rich, full-bodied flavor and is a good choice for coffee lovers who prefer a stronger cup.

Pour over: A pour over coffee maker uses a paper or metal filter and allows for greater control over the brewing process, allowing for a great coffee taste.

Moka pot: A moka pot uses steam pressure to force hot water through the coffee grounds and into the upper chamber, producing a strong and robust cup of coffee.

Espresso machine: An espresso machine uses high pressure to force hot water through finely ground coffee, producing a strong and concentrated shot of coffee.
