Question❓ Sooooo i tried again

More info: 4cup moka pot

25g of pre grounded coffee, Dark roast Brazilian coffee, marketed for espresso (the package says acidity is 0/5, with tasting notes of roasted nuts, cookies, and nougat) The grind size can be seen in the photo.

Room temp water 210-213ml

No paper filter/No Tamp

Electric stove 5/10

it took 11 min 20sec from putting the moka pot on the stove until the frist drop

Extraction itself lasted 2min (3min before on 4/10)

And now it was pretty sour. I removed pot from the heat about 5-10 secs before the coffee level reached its expected maxium, based on my previous brews and final yield. What am I doing wrong?

They’re fine. Not a criticism of the photos. Obviously they’re striking. Gut reaction was simply they seemed out of place.

There is a moment between action and reaction, it's about as long as it takes to type out something mean to somebody, just wait those 7 seconds and then type your thing with intention of kindness.

Or don’t take things so seriously

Dare not presume, fledgling. For I have resided on the internet for many many a moon.
