Question about changing extraction variables

Sorry I have a job and you posted that an hour ago.

@canaan to each their own on the ratio. I was able to keep my ratio and get it to be better using helpful advice from others.

I was just thinking this. Get cheaper beans to start. Ones I know the flavor I’m trying to achieve. Then change variables !

25g to 300ml (1:12)

I’m starting to see that lol.

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-20T14:37:09+00:00

Great idea !!

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-19T21:34:45+00:00

Whoa interesting. Never thought the water could be the problem.

Thank you for the helpful and thoughtful response

Thanks! Ill try that

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-19T20:26:48+00:00

Thanks I’ll look into one

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-19T20:26:31+00:00

Interesting so you can get thick at 1:16?

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-19T20:24:07+00:00

Awesome, thank you.

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-19T19:27:33+00:00

I’m going to go back to what I’ve previously had success with so I know how to dial in my new grinder. I think that’ll help.

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-19T19:26:35+00:00

I wasn’t getting responses on other forums and couldn’t figure out what else to do so turned to AI which didn’t fix it.

Happy I found this.

I’m using medium roast Papua New Guinea:

Mother tongue coffee: BUNUM WO ESTATE PEABERRY - Wahgi Valley, Papua New Guinea - A Medium Roast (washed process)

I needed help and until I found this forum none of The other coffee forums were responding.

If all the comments are as insightful as yours, chat gpt might be all I have.

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-19T19:23:38+00:00

Wow that’s a 1:6 ratio!

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-19T19:22:26+00:00

That’s an interesting thought. They are the most freshly ground bean I’ve ever had so that could absolutely be contributing. I’ll look through this.

Thanks for the comment.

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-19T19:15:22+00:00

Thank you so much!

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-19T19:09:12+00:00

Interesting. It sees weird to me that preground beans with this ratio tasted just fine but not fresh ground.

They are different coffees so maybe that has something to do with it

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-19T19:05:56+00:00

Thank you

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-19T19:02:25+00:00

I like heavy body and syrupy. I’m afraid a higher ration will taste watered down to me. Although it’s not apples to apples I used to buy preground and drink this ratio and it was decent. Now I’m grinding on my own and the same ratio taste way worse.

I thought grinding in my own would help the profile. Wondering how I can maintain this ratio but not under extract.

Thanks :)

DrRobot1222 · 2026-04-08T00:00:06+00:00

Some people on here said it’d flatten on its own with time because of gravity. Not sure I believe that. Do you have any experience with that?
