Definition
Over-agitation risk is the chance that aggressive mixing drives harshness, muddiness, or unstable flow instead of improvement.
Why It Matters
More agitation is not automatically better, especially with high fines or sensitive coffees.
Risk Note
This page describes a diagnostic warning, not a directly measured variable. It is useful for diagnosis and recipe debugging, but it is not a direct control lever or direct measurement by itself.
Page Context
Over-agitation risk is part of the Brew Supply AeroPress Wheel and helps brewers describe the risk that too much movement harms the cup.
