If your coffee tastes bitter it’s not necessarily the beans or the roast level—it’s likely something in the brewing process. Too much bitterness stems from pulling out too many compounds which means the water has pulled out too many compounds from the coffee grounds. The fix is typically straightforward and cost-free and doesn’t require new equipment.

Your grind setting may be the root cause If your grounds are too fine, water will flow through them too slowly, extracting more than it should. With drip brewers, use a medium setting similar to table salt. French press demands a chunkier grind like breadcrumbs. Changing your grind is often the quickest solution to bitter coffee.

Next, look at your brew time If you’re using a pour over or French press, make sure you’re not letting the coffee steep too long. Allow 120 to 180 seconds for optimal pour over extraction A French press should steep for about 4 minutes, then be plunged immediately. Leaving coffee in the press beyond 4 minutes ruins the flavor.

Water temperature also matters Water that’s too hot—above 205 degrees Fahrenheit—can scald the grounds and pull out bitter oils. Aim for 195–205°F for ideal extraction If you don’t have a thermometer, فروشگاه قهوه Allow the kettle to rest briefly post-boil.

The coffee to water ratio is another common culprit Too much coffee for the amount of water will make the brew strong and bitter. Start with a 1:15 to 1:12 coffee-to-water ratio Using a digital scale ensures precision.

Regular cleaning prevents bitter off-flavors Old coffee oils can build up in your grinder, carafe, or filter basket and contribute to a bitter taste. Clean your gear regularly with warm water and a mild detergent and ensure no soap residue remains.

Tweak one setting per brew to identify the culprit Often, just changing the grind size or brew time will turn a bitter cup into a smooth, enjoyable one.
