Coffee brewing needs to adjust the grinding thickness according to different equipment, which can basically be judged by the brewing time: for example, the longer the brewing time (such as French filter pot), the thicker the grinding particles; the shorter the brewing time (such as an Italian coffee machine), the finer the particles.

To put it another way, what happens if the coffee powder is heavy, the amount of water and concentration are the same when the coffee is extracted by hand flushing and French filter kettle?

The result is shown in the image above, or you can refer to the list below.

Due to the difference in extraction time between the two, the LRR is different. If the brewing concentration remains the same, although the cup weight of the French filter pot is only 7 grams less, the extraction rate is as high as 23.22%; that is to say, the hand-brewed coffee still tastes strong, but the follicle is full of bitterness and is like an herb.

The solution is to adjust the degree of grinding, water injection or brewing time to reduce the concentration. As for the injection temperature, it doesn't matter if you test a small range of variations before; although the water temperature is low enough, it tastes strange.

As shown in the following figure, the powder weight and water injection remain the same, only after the grinding particles are thickened and the TDS is reduced to 1.29%, and the extraction rate is 20.03%, thus making a cup of rich and layered coffee.
