If you’ve ever had a bitter cup of coffee, you know it can ruin the experience. But what causes bitterness, and how can you avoid it?
What Makes Coffee Bitter?
- Over-roasting – Dark roasts can taste burnt if not done properly.
- Over-extraction – Brewing too long or with too fine a grind extracts bitter compounds.
- Low-Quality Beans – Poor-quality beans often produce bitter, unpleasant flavors.
