Dialing in your grind size can completely transform flavor. If you’re grinding a new bag of coffee fresh at home, and experience what you feel like are sour or bitter flavors, give these grind adjustments a try: “Sour” = grind finer. “Bitter” = grind coarser. Each coffee is different so there's no universal grind setting for any brewing method, but it’s not uncommon to have to grind with a starting point and make adjustments from there. It’s worth the little extra time!

Want to sharpen your palette? Use candy! If you don’t feel like you can always taste the flavor notes of your coffee, you can hone your tasting (and equally important smelling) skills with jelly beans. Here’s how: Take a jelly bean — ideally one you don’t know the flavor of Hold your nose (really!) and place the jelly bean in your mouth Bite into the jelly bean, without letting go of your nose, notice the sweetness and sourness Let go of your nose, notice all those aromas that help you actually identify the flavor  Aroma is key to understanding flavor, and because jelly beans are flavored with aromatics that only reveal themselves once you bite in, they’re perfect for practicing.
