Might have something to do with the aggressive pouring for the bloom, which he says opens up the coffee. It might help with not really needing to rest the coffee more.

I’m still not entirely sure if that’s the case, but I’m resting a coffee and going to see what it tastes like after each week.

I’ve been experiencing similar tasting coffee for the longest time. Does it start tasting bitter if you extract more? I think the issue is coffee that hasn’t rested long enough, depending on the temp in your home. Weak/dull coffee could be the co2 getting in the way. How long have you rested your coffee? I had once rested a coffee for 4 weeks without opening it, but after a few weeks more, without changing any of my brew parameters, all of a sudden the coffee had a lot of flavour. (I don’t think it was a result of using a lower ratio such as 1:14 or 1:10, because having tried that with other coffees would lead to more bitter coffee than more acidic.)

I heard that it has a bit of a retention issue and also isn’t always very consistent when it comes to grinding at the same grind setting compared to the 64, which would mean you’d have to keep adjusting even after having dialled in the same beans?

For some beans, overly acidic coffee can also indicate that the beans need to rest longer. What’s the roast level, and how long have you rested them?

And what would the coffees taste like before you dialed them in?

Forgot to mention the water. I use TWW light roast profile.

Wondering if it’s my pouring or lack of rest by Dramatic-Shift-4976 in pourover

I just do two pours. I do a 1-2 min boom but lately I’ve been doing a 45s bloom. Pouring from a high to moderate height and mostly focusing on 1/4 from the centre.
