For those who grind their beans, does freshly roasted coffee sometimes taste a bit sour? I've tried 3 different kinds of coffee, all from different roasters that were roasted in the past week, no matter what brew method I use (aeropress, french press, bonavita drip) they are all sour. I've tried finer grind too....
Anyone tips other than just letting it rest? |

Quoted:
I have the same grinder. What were you doing before to get good coffee? Some coffee can be sour when fresh but after 4 days that should really be gone. I usually try the coffee as soon as I get done roasting it. I'd been getting great coffee by using 15 grind setting and using the bonavita. Was just using some 8 o clock original blend. Then I read about freshly roasted being best and got some stumptown and verve and decided to try those but they are crazy sour |

It seems you might be the common theme. Don't over grind you beans. They will get bitter and also overheat in the mill.
Aside from that, have your water 204* +- 4* for no more than 8 minutes over the beans. If you have even one bad bean in the grind it will make the pot bad. Try this coffee. It is expensive unless you do like me and buy 25 bags at a time and use a coupon code.
