Using Taste to Improve your Coffee Brewing

A well brewed coffee should be a balance of acidity and sweetness (with a touch of bitterness from the caffeine). This doesn't mean an equal balance but the two should exist in harmony. 

There should also be a tactile experience to drinking coffee. Those sweet dissolved solids will add body to the cup.
