1. Coffee beans are not fresh

After a certain period of ripening, the roasted coffee beans will slowly release carbon dioxide, which will begin to oxidize at the end of the process, causing the coffee beans to become stale.

So now the storage environment of your coffee beans meets the above conditions? If not, quickly change to a proper environment to store coffee beans! In addition, some people will buy a large bag of ground coffee powder and cook it at home, because the flavor of the coffee will be quickly lost after it is ground. It is recommended to grind and brew a small amount of coffee. If it is just for convenience, it will be a pity for your coffee. Buy an electric bean grinder.

two。 There is something wrong with the roasting of coffee beans

If your coffee burns are very bitter, there is probably something wrong with the roasting of the coffee beans. After roasting, coffee beans will develop the rich flavor of raw beans, unbaked coffee beans can not be drunk.

5. The coffee machine / filter cup / bean grinder is too dirty

Whether you make coffee by automatic, semi-automatic, hand-brewing or soaking, as long as the utensils are dirty, it will make the coffee worse. Coffee shops that pay attention to quality are diligent in cleaning their machines to keep their coffee above standard. Generally, chopping vegetables and raw and cooked food will be divided into chopping boards, or at least washing and cutting other ingredients, but imagine that if you cut garlic and leeks, do not wash chopping boards and kitchen knives, and cut fruit directly, the fruit must taste terrible.

If the coffee utensils are too dirty, they will also leave the previous coffee grease, coffee grounds and scale, which will make the coffee worse. Check your utensils!
