It’s not your fault. You’re doing everything right, but your Coffee Beans Online is just … bad. It tastes bitter, and you’re drinking it anyway because that’s what you do every morning. I’m here to help! In this article, I’ll break down the science behind why your coffee tastes so gross and give you some tips on how to make it taste better.
THE COFFEE IS TOO FINELY GROUND
When you grind Coffee Beans Online, you want to make sure that they’re ground just before brewing. If your coffee is coarsely ground, it will result in a bitter taste.
This happens because the larger pieces of beans don’t dissolve properly, which can lead to over-extraction. Over-extraction results in a lower yield of flavour compound from the coffee bean and creates bitterness (which we don’t like!).
You might be wondering why there’s so much fuss about grinding. Well, when coffee is finely ground and brewed at high temperatures (like espresso or Turkish), it tends to produce more bitterness than other brewing methods because small particles lead to faster extraction time and less contact with water for dilution.
YOUR WATER IS TOO HOT
If you’re like me, your water is way too hot. I’m a stickler for temperature and use an instant-read thermometer to make sure my water is anywhere from 195ºF (91ºC) to 205ºF (96.5ºC).
If the temperature of your coffee pot or kettle is too high, it can make your coffee taste bitter. When brewing quality coffee, water should be heated just above boiling point which is 212°F at sea level.
To measure the temperature of your water, use an analog or digital thermometer that can be calibrated with a small screwdriver; this ensures accuracy over time as well as calibration between two different thermometers if needed.
To help prevent burning yourself or scalding someone else who might be helping out in the kitchen, invest in some oven mitts that cover up all but the last inch of each hand! Remember: safety first!
THE GROUNDS STEEPED TOO LONG
If you leave your coffee to steep for too long, it becomes bitter.
This is a well-known fact. But what if I told you that the longer your coffee steeps, the more bitter it gets? Yes: not only will your coffee taste more bitter in general as time goes on, but also that very first sip of coffee will be considerably more bitter than any later sip (except maybe the last one).
Using old or stale coffee beans.
If you feel like your coffee has lost its flavour, it may be because the beans are old or stale. Coffee beans should be used within a few weeks of roasting because they will start to lose their natural oils and aromas after that time period. If you have any old or stale beans in your house, take them out of their airtight containers and put them in the freezer until you’re ready to use them again.
When your Coffee Beans Online is ready for brewing, remove it from the freezer and grind as usual before making your cup of joe!
