I stopped using a Brita filter and went to bottled water and got much better results (I'm in a hard water area) but you could also try reducing dose or changing water weight. Have a look at the Barista Hustle coffee compass/ .

On my wilfa I normally set it to the P on aeroPress, 15g in 250 water and its about 3 minutes to 3.30 obviously ymmv and they aren't precision calibrated or anything but that's ballpark. What are your run through times looking like?
But tbh I often go through bad weeks/months where i cannot dial anything, the coffee tastes bad no matter what I do etc. Sometimes its the beans, sometimes its me. Could also be the water so new brita filter would be an easy thing to try.

Have you seen the James Hoffman V60 method? Also his brew ration video is worth a watch

This might sound daft but something I’ve fallen foul of before: have you tried more than one set of beans? Could it just be a duff batch?

Struggling to get the right extraction recently with my v60. Coffee always tastes under extracted. Tried adjusting grind size quite a bit from coarse/ filter up to much finer aka "Mocca" on my Wilfa.
But no real difference. Trying a new filter in the Brita to see if that makes a difference (being at home more I guess they may need changing more often). Anyone experienced this before.?
