In general terms, the scale of coffee-brewing is primarily dependent on extraction: the act and measurement of the level of coffee that ends up in a final brewed result. Striking the perfect balance throughout the brewing process can be difficult to achieve, but when we can understand some key differences between over-extraction and under-extraction, we can then begin to make changes to our process in order to regain that perfect cup. Over-ExtractionWhen coffee brewed on any method tastes bitter and hollow, it is likely over-extracted and was likely brewed too slowly. Over-extraction can occur for a number of reasons, but is typically due to a coffee that was ground too finely, coffee grounds that have been packed too tightly in the brewing vessel (depending on the brew method utilized), or equipment that hasn&apos;t been recently cleaned. Under-ExtractionWhen coffee brewed on any method tastes sour and lacks sweetness, it is likely under-extracted and was likely brewed too quickly. Under-extraction can occur for a number of reasons, but is typically due to a coffee that was ground too coarsely, coffee grounds that have been packed too loosely in the brewing vessel (depending on the brew method utilized), or equipment that hasn&apos;t been recently cleaned.
