Motivation

I enjoy coffee, but I find most coffee to be too bitter. This is a symptom of over-extraction. Here is my recipe for minimally bitter coffee.

Materials needed

• Boiling water
• Coffee
• Grinder
• Filter
• Pot
• Scale

Grind

I have my grider set to the most coarse setting.

Preheat

Warm up all the glassware with some nearly boiling water.

Weights

Weigh out the grounds. I aim for 10:1 water:coffee by mass.

First Pour

The goal here is to clog the filter. About 100g is usually sufficient.

Stir

Give it a swirl to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Final Pour

Pour the rest of the water.

Enjoy

Coffee should taste good, not bitter.
