When in doubt, change one variable at a time. First, adjust the grind size—it's the biggest lever. Then check water temperature. Finally, refine your pour technique. Changing everything at once makes it impossible to know what worked.

Start with a medium-fine grind (like table salt), water at 200°F, and a 1:16 ratio. Brew once, taste, then adjust one thing. That's the fastest path to a consistently great cup.
