☕ Tips for Coffee Lovers | Solutions to the Most Common Problems
If you're having problems with your coffee, don't worry! Here are practical solutions to the most common problems that can affect the quality of your coffee and your daily experience:
✅ 1. My coffee is too bitter or weak!
📌 Solution:
Adjust the grind – too fine a grind can make the coffee bitter, and too coarse a grind can make it weak. Try a medium grind depending on your brewing style.
Check the coffee-to-water ratio – use the correct ratio (e.g., 1:15 grams of coffee per ml of water).
Use high-quality water – water with high salt content can affect the taste, so use filtered water.
✅ 2. The coffee isn't hot enough!
📌 Solution:
Heat the cup before pouring the coffee to maintain the temperature.
Make sure your coffee maker heats the water to between 90-96°C.
If using milk, heat it to 55-65°C for the perfect froth.
✅ 3. My coffee tastes different every day!
📌 Solution:
Use the same amount and grind size every time to maintain consistency.
Clean the machine and filters to remove oils and deposits that may affect the taste.
Store your coffee in a dry, airtight place to preserve its flavor.
✅ 4. My coffee has a metallic or strange taste!
📌 Solution:
Use filtered water to avoid a metallic taste caused by impurities.
Clean your machine regularly with a descaling solution.
Use fresh, high-quality coffee to avoid a stale or oxidized taste.
✅ 5. My coffee machine is running slowly or doesn't extract coffee well!
📌 Solution:
Clean the filter and water lines regularly to remove any blockages.
Ensure you're using the appropriate grind size for your machine (espresso = fine, French press = coarse).
Descale monthly to maintain proper water flow.
✅ 6. Milk foam is not good!
📌 Solution:
Use cold, whole milk for a rich foam.
Use the milk frother correctly, and try to introduce air slowly to create a creamy texture.
Clean the frother nozzle after each use to prevent dry milk buildup.
