Hi guys,
Im completely new to brewing coffee. I was using my dedica for quite some time and to get better quality coffee I switch to non pressurized basket, and bought porlex grinder.
Im using my fav beans from a local coffee shop in Tokyo, I think those are good quality beans (judging by the price and shop popularity).
I was experimenting a lot with grind size, tamping etc and finally I managed to adjust everything to get 30 second extraction with rich, beautiful crema.
The problem is, faster extraction with almost zero crema tastes much better to me. Its not bitter nor acidic, smooth, sweet and tastes "full". Shot with rich crema tastes too bitter for my taste.
Am I doing something wrong, or its just a matter of beans, or just personal taste? Im guess the last one, but wanted to make sure with real coffee snobs.
Best
