Just realized my morning pour-over went from bitter disaster to smooth perfection after one small tweak
I stopped using water straight off the boil and let it sit for 30 seconds before pouring, and after a week of that my coffee tastes completely different. Has anyone else found that water temp matters way more than they thought?

Felt like an idiot when I realized I'd been scalding my beans for years just like you @dianas50.

Oh man, water temp was my biggest game changer too? I used to just boil and pour right away like it didn't matter and my coffee was always kinda bitter and flat. Then I read somewhere to use water around 200 degrees and it totally clicked for me. I actually wait a full minute now and the difference is night and day, especially with lighter roasts. It's wild how something so simple changes everything about the taste, right?
