Definition
Acidity here means the sensory shape of brightness, fruitiness, or sparkle rather than the water’s pH alone.
Why It Matters
Acidity is strongly modulated by coffee material, water alkalinity, thermal profile, and serving temperature.
Page Context
Acidity is part of the Brew Supply AeroPress Wheel and helps brewers describe the perceived brightness or liveliness of the cup.
