How To Keep Espresso From Tasting Bitter

If you are freshly brewing your espresso at home, then congratulations! Still, you may have come upon the issue that your espresso is brewing with a burnt and bitter taste, so what are you to do?

First of all, make sure that you are brewing with completely fresh and cool water. If you are brewing with water that has been sitting in the machine for several days, it will affect the taste of your brew.

Next, make sure that you have invested in a quality machine. If you bought a cheap espresso machine from Wal-Mart, you may want to invest in a more premium brand that produces specialized espresso machines for a few hundred dollars.

Last of all, make sure that the espresso shot is brewed within 25 seconds. If it brews too short or too long, then check the grind consistency because that could affect the flavor and taste!
