My Coffee Is Watery

Quick Answer

Watery coffee usually combines under-extraction with too much water for the amount of coffee — the cup lacks both strength and body.

Try These First

  1. Increase your coffee dose
    More coffee adds both strength and body.
  2. Grind finer
    Increases extraction.
  3. Check your brew time
    Make sure it isn’t running short.
  4. Try full immersion
    French press adds body a paper filter removes.
