The coarser and more significant the coffee powder, it is harder to produce the bitter taste. Therefore, if you are making coffee and feel painful, please adjust the grind size to 1 to 2 steps.

And try until you feel like drinking is okay. Conversely, if you find the coffee sour and salty, reduce the grind size slightly.

Reduce the brew time slightly.

The longer the brewing time, the more bitter the coffee will be. Depending on the brewing method, you should reduce the brewing time if you find the taste bitter. Like Pour Over, if you are brewing for 3 minutes, it can be reduced to 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
