Whenever I brew a cup of coffee and leave the pot on the hotplate it always tastes bitter and/or burnt after a while. Why?
In: 1
A burnt flavor normally occurs if the beans are overroasted (which happens before you even buy the grounds–so that’s probably unlikely), or if you overcook the coffee. This can also occur if you brew your coffee with too-hoot water for too long. After you brew, it’s ideal to keep your coffee as warm as possible. Keeping it piping hot is only going to kill the flavor.
