Make coffee to taste bold, rich & robust - Not Bitter!

Do you love strong coffee but hate the bitterness that often comes with it? In this video, we’ll show you how to achieve bold, rich, and robust coffee flavors without the unpleasant bitterness.

Key Highlights:
Understanding Strength vs. Flavor: Discover why "bold" and "robust" are better terms than "strong" when describing coffee flavors. Learn how strength is all about ratios, not bitterness.
Choosing the Right Beans: Medium to dark roasts, like Artisti Coffee Roasters' The Fix, can deliver full flavor without the harsh burnt notes. Storage tips ensure your beans stay fresh for optimal extraction.
Perfecting the Brewing Process: Adjust grind size, dose, and yield to eliminate over-extraction and bitter notes. Learn why recipes like the 1:2 coffee-to-yield ratio are essential.
Temperature & Water Quality: Avoid scorching your coffee by keeping brewing water below 94°C and using filtered water to enhance flavor.
Alternative Brewing Tips: From French press to cold brew, discover how to tweak recipes for bold results across brewing methods.
By the end of this video, you'll have all the tools to craft coffee that’s full-bodied, smooth, and satisfying—without the bitterness. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more expert coffee tips.

You start out by saying that you think the word strong is a strange one to use when describing coffee taste but your own website uses that word to describe at least two of your coffee beans (e.g The Fix and Champion). Just say’n. Good content though, I learnt a lot.

To further confuse things, the word strength is a technical term in coffee brewing, which describes the amount of coffee material in the beverage versus the amount of water. James Hoffmann touches on this in a recent video, describing how you can get a stronger milk drink counterintuitively by Brewing with more water, which extracts the grounds more.

I am always on the hunt for those blueberries!

Thanks for your continuing information. Question, does the caffeine content in roasted coffee mot remain the same regardless of the roast degree?

[simonbartlett]

Wish you would make the fix available in the US

[battlemorph]

The temp. that the roasted bean has already been through means you can't scorch coffee during extraction to the cup.

Hi Artisti!
Here’s a question:
Why does coffee made with a pressurised filter or with a full automatic machine tastes so different (and bad)?

I understand the different techniques but I’m interested why the extracted coffee is so different.
Maybe it’s an idea for a video, explaining to people why a bean to cup coffee will never taste as good as a real espresso.
(I’m just curious)

Will I be able to achieve this on my Gaggia classic 2019

Ciao, to get 30 grams of coffee in 30 seconds, is it better to grind it coarser and use more coffee or grind it finer and use less coffee?
Thanks for your reply.

I’m waiting on a scale, a wdt and a few other tools for consistency. We have a local roaster here in town that I’ll be using their coffee specifically, My goal is to be a robotic consistent with the tools. Then i can switch grind size, grind amount. I’ve tried to do espresso with a grinder, the Breville machine and the tools they provide and no scale, its not working out

[nancycrowden]

Hoping you can help.
I look at where the water is coming out and have ran it several times. When the water comes out it is not coming out evenly. One particular place it comes out in a stream. It isn't an expensive machine and flavor is good. Always a wet puck after extraction. Thanks!

I find it interesting you say not to keep coffee in the freezer, as a lot of highly regarded barista's will say coffee beans actually freeze well and keep very well in the freezer. Not in the fridge, but in freezer :).
What's your reasoning for saying not to freeze coffee beans? I am curious because it seems contrary to other advice.
Also, what would be the best water filter to use, without breaking the budget?

[tsx]

please make a video about grind size, at which setting to start grinding for each roast type..

[karasong]

Good talking point. Not everyone gets that strong/bold is not necessarily bitter.

[rmaxwell]

Thank you Artisti your always on top of things, very helpful! I have a question about making cold brew. If i use a decaf blend should i brew for less than 17 or 18 hours to avoid any bitter taste or use the same as caffinated coffee.? Thanks..

[polong]

My wife didn't believe me when I said my espresso didn't taste bitter at all. 😂

[jensschubert]

What’s your opinion on making a ristretto-type coffee for cappuccinos? So more like a 1:1 ratio?

[אספרסוטק]

if you make 1:2 from medium dark roast and do not fill bitterness you might be not sensitive to bitterness for, medium roast I would suggest no more then 1:1.5 ratio

Lo malo es que no tiene video en español

Why is 'weak' ok and 'strong' not ok? They are antonyms. Why is 'robust' ok and 'strong' not ok? They are synonyms. The informational part is very good. The word policing not so much. Everyone in the world understands what a strong coffee is.
