Hi! All,
Ive been trawling the ccs site but havent found an answer to my query and hope this post is not covering old ground. My crema is bitter. The coffee, once you get through the crema is fine, sometimes really great but this darn crema, of which there is plenty, is a problem. I roast my own beans so the coffee is fresh, Ive experiemented with long roasts, short roasts, dark roasts and light roasts and feel reasonably confident my beans are OK. The colour of the crema is OK (caramel fudge) but when I found my son apologising to one of his mates about the taste of the crema :-[ I thought it was time to do something about it. Also, I had a coffee at a local coffee shop this morning, usually the coffee is just OK but this morning, I have to say it was better than mine
just because of the crema. Any suggestions??
Thanks
