Q: What do I do if my coffee tastes too weak?
Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 1
)
What if your coffee tastes too weak?
If your coffee tastes a little on the weak side, here are the three commonest causes:
1. You didn´t use enough coffee in the brew. Make sure you use 2 tablespoons of ground coffee beans for every 6 ounces of water.
2. The coffee was too coarsely ground. In other words, you´re not leaving the beans in the coffee grinder for long enough.
3. The coffee wasn´t brewed for long enough. (For example, if you are using a French Press, you didn´t leave the coffee to brew for long enough before pushing down the plunger.)
If you are doing everything right, but still want a ´stronger´ taste, you´ll want to look at the origin of your coffee beans and the darkness of the roast. These don´t, strictly speaking, relate to the ´strength´ or ´weakness´ of the brew. But they do impact the body, flavor and taste of the final cup.

Do you recommend a specific type of brewer? I have a Bunn that I`ve had over 7 years that has the automatic heated water chamber (no wait brewing time). Should I replace it? I haven`t been happy with my coffee but am not sure if it`s because of the bean grind or the coffee maker.
