7. Troubleshooting

Encountering issues with your coffee? Here are some common problems and solutions:

• Weak Coffee: If your coffee tastes too weak, try increasing the amount of coffee grounds used per serving or using a finer grind setting if your equipment allows. Ensure your water is hot enough for proper extraction.
• Bitter Coffee: If your coffee tastes bitter, you might be over-extracting. Try reducing the brewing time, using slightly coarser grounds, or lowering the water temperature slightly. Ensure your equipment is clean.
• No Aroma/Flavor: Ensure your coffee is fresh and stored correctly. Old coffee or improper storage can lead to a loss of aroma and flavor. Check your water quality.
