Acidity is good in a coffee beverage. If coffee is brewed incorrectly, it can be sour, bitter, or just flat. Check out these tips to control acidity in brewing coffee.
1. Grind Size
Finer grind size extracts oil faster making a cup of coffee bitter. Adjust your coffee grounds coarser for acidity.
2. Brew Time
Take note that the extraction time is different from brew time. The longer the brew time, the more extraction happens. Longer brew time makes a cup of coffee bitter. Make shorter brew time for more acidity.
3. Water Temperature
A quicker extraction happens when introducing a hotter water temperature. Increase water temperature if you want a more acidic cup of coffee.
