Common Coffee Brewing Mistakes

If your coffee tastes bitter:

1. Too little coffee, too finely ground.

2. Coffee was brewed with an overlong brewing cycle.

3. Coffee was "cooked" on the burner or held too long after brewing.


If your coffee tastes weak:

1. Didn't use enough coffee (2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of brewing water)

2. Coffee was too coarsely ground

3. Coffee was not brewed long enough (i.e, with a plunger pot, didn't wait long enough before plunging).

4. It's not Brown and Jenkins roasted to perfection!
