GENERAL TIPS FOR BETTER TASTING COFFEE

Coffee is 98% water, and the quality of the water you use to brew your coffee directly affects the taste in your cup. Running your tap water through a filter like Brita or Pur will affect the taste of your coffee for the better, yielding more clarity and sweetness.

If you are using pre-ground coffee, use less coffee to decrease brew time and use more coffee to increase brew time.

Coffee beans have different densities and sizes, so scooping to measure your coffee recipe becomes less and less reliable. Instead, weigh your coffee on a gram scale to make sure you have the right recipe.

Coffee tastes best when ground right before you brew, and burr grinders give you a much more even grind size. When the grind size is very different, you get a mixed extraction - the water pulls out less from the biggest pieces (giving you the sour flavor of underextraction), and too much from the smaller pieces (the bitter flavor of overextraction)

You may need to adjust the grind size to manipulate the brew time. A coarser grind size will decrease the brew time and a finer grind size will increase the brew timeYou may need to adjust the grind size to manipulate the brew time.
