While I was visiting a friend in Turin an month ago and brought me coffee back.
It's from Rwanda and described as "frutti rossi, speciato, dolce, strutturato e audace". I'm not much of a coffee gourmet but I'm pretty sure none of these words mean sour (at least google translate says that) and I also don't recall the shop dude mentioning a sourish taste. It still does taste sour though. Is it the coffee or am I doing it wrong?
I've ground it for filter coffee (8 clicks from fully screwed in on a Hario MSS-1B if that helps) and tried regular filter and an Aeropress.
No-one in the world roasts coffee to taste (intentionally) sour. Especially Italians! I assume it’s fairly dark? Try extracting a lot more; finer grind, hotter water, longer brew time etc.
(It might just be terrible coffee)
