The Balance of Flavors in Coffee
Making coffee is inseparable from the three basic flavors: sour, sweet, and bitter. In fact, the taste of coffee is actually a comprehensive combination of these three elements. Today, we won't discuss aroma specifically, but focus solely on the basic flavors of coffee.
When we often brew espresso, it's frequently either too bitter or too sour, or a mix of sour and bitter, making it unpleasant to drink without any sweet aftertaste.
The Simplest Testing Method
Actually... The simplest way to evaluate is simply to "drink"!
If you find the espresso tastes bitter, then grind it coarser, or/and shorten the brewing time.
If you find the espresso tastes sour, then grind it finer, or/and extend the brewing time.
If you find the espresso is both sour and bitter, then change your brewing method to ensure the coffee grounds absorb water evenly.
This way, you can easily brew a cup of decent coffee with a balanced combination of sour, sweet, and bitter flavors...
Beyond Balance
However, this is only the balance of sour, sweet, and bitter.
You still need to understand what kind of beans you're using first, in order to初步 determine how you want to brew them.
