Troubleshooting your coffee at home? Start here 👇
Bruce & Jesse are bringing you their multi-decade coffee expertise to help you troubleshoot your coffee brewing!
Here are 3 simple ways to dial it in:
1. Control your ingredients
Start with fresh, quality coffee and good water (filtered > straight tap whenever possible).
2. Measure everything
A scale makes a huge difference. Consistent coffee + water measurements = consistent results.
3. Change ONE thing at a time
If your coffee tastes off, troubleshoot in this order:
→ Adjust the amount of coffee first
→ Then adjust the amount of water
→ Then experiment with grind size
Small changes make a big difference.
Save this for the next time your home brew tastes “off” - your future self (and your coffee) will thank you.
