Does anyone else think coffee taste bitter in a permanent filter?!
I wasn't thinking and I bought a coffee maker that is a cone filter and the cone filters are more expensive!. So I thought a permanent filter would be good for the enverionment and save me money!. But I think the coffee has more of a bitter taste!. Has anyone else had that problem!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Add a little bit of salt to the coffee - that can take away the bitterness!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
In my experience, the bitter taste is the results of too fine of a grind or burnt coffee beans as in Charbucks!.
Sometimes the bitter flavor can be a results of the water being too hot, but since you are using a coffee maker, (probably NOT a TECHNIVORM) I seriously doubt that this is the case!. Most Chinese made coffee makers will be hard pressed to make it to 165 degrees!.
I use a SWISS GOLD filter and I have no problems with the taste, especially since I roast my own coffee and avoid the burnt brands!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Actually, yes!. In my instance, I believe it is due to the hard water in our area!. I think some of the particles from the hard water build up in the filter!. Not proven, just my thought!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
yes- and it's messy- I started buying the brown paper (ie recycled paper) filters, & putting them inside the permanent filter !. !. !. tastes better, & not as bad for environment !. !. !.Www@FoodAQ@Com
