Question : Does under extraction give a lighter coffee and over extraction a stronger one ? No, For #lighter or stronger coffee less or more coffee powder has to be used. Why P Under extraction will not get all the flavours of the coffee as the water runs too quickly. It will not get what you want – it will taste sour. Over-extraction will bring out all unnecessary flavours rendering the taste bitter.
On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, answer the questions given below :
The correct answer is : No, under-extraction does not necessarily result in lighter coffee and over-extraction does not necessarily result in stronger coffee. The strength of the coffee is determined by the amount of coffee powder used. Under-extraction occurs when the water runs too quickly through the coffee, resulting in a sour taste as all the flavors are not fully extracted. Over-extraction, on the other hand, occurs when the water runs too slowly or for too long, bringing out unnecessary flavors and resulting in a bitter taste. To achieve the desired strength and flavor of the coffee, it is important to use the correct amount of coffee powder and ensure that the extraction time is optimal.
