Why Does My Espresso Taste Bitter?
There are several reasons why your espresso may taste bitter. One of the main reasons is over-extraction, which means the coffee is brewed for too long, resulting in a bitter taste. Additionally, using low-quality or stale beans can also contribute to bitterness. Using too much coffee grounds or a very fine grind can also make the espresso taste bitter. Finally, incorrect brewing temperature or pressure can also lead to a bitter shot.
