It does! If it takes too long to extract (too fine grind), you will get over extracted result and increased bitterness, and the opposite if water disappears too quickly and extraction time is shorter. In my experience, for light roast fine grinding and some over extraction is preferable in order to get all the flavour out of the beans, but with every new coffee I get, I adjust it to get the balance I look for in my cup (it is different for every person) Usually, adjusting the grinding for your target extraction, let’s say 3:00, is good enough to start experimenting with different level of coffee roasts!
