Getting the water temp right fixed my bitter brews
lol, my coffee kept coming out bitter no matter what beans I used. I read that too hot water can burn the grounds, so I started heating it just below boiling. Now every cup is smooth and flavorful, which is a big win for my mornings. Such a simple tweak but it really improved my daily coffee.

My grind size mattered more than the water temp for me.

I mean, I wish I could say I was that smart. I spent months blaming my cheap grinder before I even thought about the water. Maybe it's just me, but I was convinced I had a magic touch that could ignore basic rules. Robin186 is probably right about grind size being key too, but for my dumb process, the temp was the main thing I was messing up. Getting that under control finally stopped my coffee from tasting like burnt dirt.
