Hello,
I am a huge coffee fan. Yes I like to add flavouring so it's not on the bitter straight up espresso side. But I've been going to Starbucks quite a lot and my keriug wasn't doing it for me anymore. So I upgraded to the Breville Barista Express BES870BSXL in the hopes I'd cut costs and brew my own coffee and not feel tied down to a Starbucks. However I've tried to make about 10 cups of coffee so far and they're all bitter and I can't even take more than 2 sips. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, can someone please help me?
I'm not an expert at making coffee so if you use the lingo try to use words to explain it better for me.
I should add that I purchased the Starbucks beans from them to get the same coffee I love so much.
Thank you so much!
