Home Roasting Coffee

March 22nd, 2010

Why does my home roasted coffee have such a strong acid taste in purified water but tastes great in tap water?

I roast my own coffee beans. I also get purified water at a water store. The strange thing is that my fresh roasted coffee tastes great made with my tap water which is not purified or filtered, but made with the purified water it tastes so acidy that we can’t drink it. I have tried green bean coffee blends from two different companies……….with the same result. I want to use purified water, but I don’t like the coffee flavor I end up with. Any coffee experts out there that can help me? Any referals to a good green coffee bean that produces a good coffee flavor when used with purified water? :)

Interesting problem there. The coffee company I work for recommends that you filter your tap water to get rid of many of the impurities, so the purified water should be BETTER not worse. Never thought about the chlorine issue suggested by a previous answer. But what kind of beans do you use, and how do you roast them? Each different type of coffee has different characteristics and the level of roasting can also make a difference. If the coffee is too acidic, you might try a South American or Central American coffee bean; We particularly like a Costa Rican bean that we have. Brazils and Guatemalans can be pretty low in acid as well.
