Scoring acidity on the cupping form

I keep confusing intensity with quality when I score acidity. The Kenya got an 8 from me and a 7 from the instructor. How do you separate the two?

    Same grinder here. Burr alignment was my problem, worth checking.

    The grind size cheat sheet in Dial-in Help helped me with exactly this.

    I’d go finer before changing the ratio. Sour plus fast is usually a grind problem.

    Rinse your paper filter with hot water first. It changes more than you’d think.

    Water matters more than people think. Filtered tap or a mineral recipe?
