I think roasting at altitude takes more time to decarb then at sea level. Ill will have to talk to the roaster next time i go to corvus.I think the extra CO2 also can lend a slightly more astringent flavor, but that's my unrefined palate speaking. We've found that two to three days is when the beans "settle down" in terms of how much foam might be generated during brewing.
I know you roast your own coffee but if I may suggest you should try coffee from a specialty shop that roast light. I would also suggest a natural proscessed because I think there tasting notes are a lot more pronounced without any cream or sugar.I've had to drop dairy, I'm using homemade raw cashew milk creamer. I have tried, and tried and tried my best to enjoy a cuppa joe without sweetener or creamer. Just can't do it. Rather like beer for me, the bitterness is too strong.
It's some Italian job, Baratza, very adjustable burr grinder type of deal. We use an Aeropress primarily (and when I came home, no Keurig to be seen anywhere!), but I don't know the ratio we're using, that requires math. :oI know you roast your own coffee but if I may suggest you should try coffee from a specialty shop that roast light.

Next step is what coffee grinder do you use? Your grinder can make or break your cup, 99% of the time a heap electric grinder creates way to much fine powder causing over extract and very bitter as u describe. A hand crank hario is about thirty bucks will do you right and beef up the hubbies arms lol.
And last is brew method and kind of water you use. Using fresh filtered water is essential when brewing coffee especially if your drinking it without sugar or cream.
I brew with a v60 pour over weigh out beans at 1:17 ratio to water. There's s learning curve that takes practice with this method but once you master it will be a piece of cake.
There from huckleberry a roastery in Denver :) where ya from growing grass?@GrowGod
Where you get them fancy beans
I hate them and there shit coffee! I pretty much hate all big corporate assholes! Starbucksland is that in Seattle? Lol there's a lot of much better quality coffee shops up there if that's where your atAND I HATE THEM!!!!!
Ok hate is a strong word
AND I STILL HATE THEM
LoL I couldn't drink that If you paid me to haha search around there has to be some specialty shops up there in Seattle that buy quality beans to roast. Your gonna pay more but it's like smoking seedy mexi weed then stepping up to some elite home grown! The shops that roast light are the ones with the quality beans most of the time.Yes, Seattle, I usually drink Vita, costco, or Trader Joe
