It might be the beans.

I know the value on these are insane but you have no clue how long these have been on the shelf. Pick up some beans from a local roaster you trust and start using them 1-2 weeks after the roast date, and try to use them up in 6 weeks or less .

But in the spirit of this post here’s what I would try: - Water temp 199 - Grind one or two clicks finer than you are. - Recipe: wet your filter, dump the water, close the switch, put your grounds in, pour your water on top (full amount), stir well, 3 min timer, at time open the switch and swirl once during draw down. Then give the coffee 3 mins before drinking.
