Coffee Brewing Troubleshooting: Common Issues and Straightforward Fixes

Coffee brewing can be a fragile art, and even with the perfect balance of beans, grind, and water, there’s always a risk of something going wrong. From under-extracted brews to clogged equipment, common coffee brewing issues can leave even the most ardent coffee enthusiasts stumped. In this article, we’ll tackle common problems that may arise when brewing your perfect cup, along with effortless solutions to get your coffee game back on track.

  • Better grinding technique: Aim for a medium grind, as both rough and fine grind can lead to imbalance.
  • li>Coffee type: If you’re using a lighter roasted bean, you might need to utilize more coffee; darker beans may require less.

  • Monitor water temperature: Between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit, is perfect for extraction.
