Common brewing questions
- Why does my espresso taste sour?
- Sourness usually means the water passed through the coffee too quickly to take much from it. Grinding finer is the first change to try, keeping the dose and yield the same. Sour vs Bitter Espresso →
- Should I grind finer or coarser?
- Finer slows the brew and extracts more; coarser speeds it up and extracts less. Move one step at a time, and only after checking that the flow was even. Grind Finer or Coarser? →
- Why does my filter coffee taste weak?
- Weak coffee is either under-extracted or simply too dilute. If it is sharp as well as weak, grind finer; if it is balanced but thin, use more coffee for the same water. Coffee-to-Water Ratio, Explained →
- Why does coffee taste bitter or dry?
- Both point to the water taking too much from the grounds — or taking it unevenly. Grind coarser first, and if the cup tastes sour and bitter at once, fix the pour or the puck before the grinder. How to Taste Coffee Without Overcomplicating It →
