Question 1

Which brewing method does Kafera work with?

Accepted Answer

Whatever's already on your counter - drip machine, French press, moka pot, pour-over, AeroPress, or even if you haven't bought anything yet. Kafera builds your recipe around what you own; no new gear required to get your first fix.

Question 2

Does my grinder matter for how coffee tastes?

Accepted Answer

A lot, actually. Pre-ground coffee loses its aroma within days, a blade grinder chops unevenly (so parts of the same cup can be both over- and under-extracted), and a burr grinder gives the most consistent grind. Kafera asks how you get your grounds so it can tell you when your grinder - not your method - is the real problem.

Question 3

Does how I drink my coffee change the recipe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Milk and ice both mute bitterness and dull flavor, so a cup dialed in for black coffee can taste flat the moment you add milk or ice. Kafera adjusts the ratio and grind advice based on whether you drink it black, with milk, sweet, or iced.

Question 4

Why does my coffee taste bitter?

Accepted Answer

Bitter usually means it's over-extracted - the water is pulling too much out of grounds that are ground too fine. Coarsen the grind one step and stop the brew a touch sooner.

Question 5

Why does my coffee taste sour?

Accepted Answer

Sour usually means it's under-extracted - the water gave up before it finished the job. Grind one notch finer and use water just off the boil.

Question 6

Why is my coffee weak or watery?

Accepted Answer

Weak or watery means there's not enough coffee for the water - the ratio is too lean. Go 1:15 and weigh it once, so you know what a good cup actually feels like.

Question 7

I'm just getting started - where do I begin?

Accepted Answer

Take the quiz and tell Kafera what's on your counter. It skips the jargon and gives you one setup and one method to start with today - no barista course, no new equipment required.

Question 8

Do I need to spend money to get better coffee?

Accepted Answer

No. Kafera always gives you the free fix first - a grind, ratio, or temperature change using what you already own. If you're open to buying one thing, it'll suggest the single highest-impact purchase for your setup and budget, never a full new kit.

Question 9

Does the recipe change based on how many cups I brew?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kafera scales the ratio to how many cups you're making - 1, 2, or 3+ - so the recipe is sized correctly for your pot instead of a generic ratio you have to do the math on yourself.
