TROUBLESHOOTING

Coffee is lacking intensity/flavour/tastes flat – grind finer

Coffee tastes salty/a little drying – grind courser 

Coffee taking too long to drain – grind courser or replace any circle-pouring pattern to centre

Coffee taking draining really quickly – grind finer or replace any centre-pouring pattern to a circular pattern

Coffee has roast-y flavours – lower water temperature

Coffee is too acidic from hot to cool – increase water temperature
