Most of the time it will be right first try. Sometimes it will need adjustment.All you need to decide is:
Is it too sour, like lemon. In this case you need to extract more.
Is OK, you dont need to change anything. Some refer to this as the sweet spot, but coffee doesnt actually contain sugar so think of this as the calm between too sour and too bitter.
Is it too bitter. All coffee is bitter to some extent but you can reduce the bitterness by extracting less.
Under-extracted coffee is sour, and over-extracted coffee is bitter. Different degrees of extraction are required for different roast levels, which correlate most strongly with density. The density.coffee recipe series is a practical tool that empowers you to navigate by taste and resolve sour or bitter coffee issues. It provides a full range of extraction tools for any method of coffee extraction, putting you in control of your coffee's flavor.

FARM HISTORY
Santa Lucia farm was bought in 1994. Since then, all the family has been working together, respecting and protecting the workers of the farm. The respect and the gratitude to the farm workers is so great that, the coffee produced there, received the name of one of them, the oldest one, Diquinho. In total, there were 62 hectares of land, used only for cattle. In 1998, the owners decided that it was time to invest in another type of agribusiness and then, began to planting coffee, dedicating 8 hectares of land to it. This number has grown and today the farm counts on 123 hectares of land, dedicating 30 hectares for coffee and has an annual average production of 1000 bags.The remaining areas are represented by native forests which were 25% recovered, since they didn’t exist when the farm was bought. In 2016, the family poured its efforts into producing high quality and excellent coffees, which went on to conquer during the Cup of Excellence competition, where it won 6th place in the natural coffees category.Sweetness is the main characteristic of this coffee and it also presents interesting complexities of flavours due to the “terroir” of this small micro-region known as Serra das Abelhas.
