Grind Adjustment Tip
For Coffee Lovers Looking For Sweetness
Start with a medium-fine grind to see how much bitterness or off-flavors you notice in your brew.
If the taste feels sharp, bitter, or muddy, try adjusting toward a slightly coarser grind next time. This helps reduce bitterness and lets the natural sweetness of the beans come forward.
You may never remove all bitterness, but you’ll find a balance point — where sweetness becomes the highlight and unpleasant notes fade into the background.
