No taste and aroma: why coffee has become watery

25.02.2024 06:20

Most people start their morning with a fragrant cup of coffee. But what if after preparation the drink turns out to be "watery"?

Therefore, it is worth figuring out what could be the cause of such a problem.

Incorrect proportions

One of the most common factors that affects the consistency of coffee is the incorrect ratio of coffee to water when brewing.

Too much water relative to the coffee beans can result in a watery drink.

Incorrect operation of the coffee grinder

The quality of the grind of the coffee beans plays a decisive role in the final taste of the coffee. If the grinder is not working properly or the beans are ground too coarsely, you will not be able to make a tasty drink.

High water temperature

The temperature of the water when brewing coffee is also important. If the water is boiled for too long, it can result in only some of the flavor and aroma being extracted from the coffee beans, making the drink more watery.

Using old coffee beans

The quality of the coffee beans used is equally important. Old beans can lose their flavor and aroma, resulting in a waterier coffee even if brewed correctly.

It is also not uncommon for coffee beans to simply "go stale" over time. The beans must be stored in airtight packaging and the grounds used immediately.
