About Espresso Troubleshooter
A fast, structured way to figure out why your espresso tastes off—and what to change next.
Espresso Troubleshooter helps you diagnose common espresso problems (sour, bitter, channeling, too fast/slow extraction) using a guided question flow and a cause → solution knowledge base.
The goal is to reduce guesswork: identify the most likely causes and surface the fixes that tend to work first.
Measure what you can (dose, yield, time). Even rough estimates improve diagnosis accuracy.
Change one variable at a time, starting with the top-ranked fix.
After trying a solution, use the feedback widget on the results page to help improve future recommendations.
Diagnosis results are probabilistic—espresso is complex and multiple causes can overlap.
We aim to be practical and conservative: fixes are ranked by impact, effort, and cost whenever possible.
