Over-Extraction: Brewing Too Long<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What happens?<\/strong><br>When hot water stays in contact with the coffee grounds for too long, it extracts excessive bitter compounds, leading to a burnt taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Fix It:<\/strong><br>\u2705 Aim for an <strong>extraction time of 25\u201330 seconds<\/strong>.<br>\u2705 If your shot takes longer than 30 seconds, try using a <strong>slightly coarser grind<\/strong>.<br>\u2705 Make sure you\u2019re not overdosing on coffee\u2014use the standard <strong>18\u201320g<\/strong> for a <a href=\"https:\/\/coffeetalkies.com\/double-shot-espresso-caffeine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">double shot<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quick Tip:<\/strong><br>If your espresso is dripping too slowly, your grind is likely too fine, causing over-extraction and bitterness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.
