Why coffee can taste muddy

Ever have a cup of coffee from your favorite coffeehouse and think "this coffee tastes muddy or, "this coffee had a heavy mouthfeel".  There a re some reasons behind for that.

1. Too fine a grind for the brewing method:  This allows fine sediment to finds it's way into your cup
2. Too much coffee in the brew:  More is not always better.  Many coffeehouses use 2 tablespoons per 6 oz. of water.  For some that is too much.  I know a few people who prefer using 1/2 tablespoon per cup.  They find the that amount produces a clean cup. Personaly, I prefer 1 tablespoon.  I get a good cup that is clean and flavorfull.  
3. Poor filtering:  Same result as using the wrong grind for the brewing method.  Sediment in the cup.
4. Old Coffee: Yep, coffee gets old. And fairly quickly too.  Coffee should be consumed within 3 weeks of being roasted.  Older coffee will still provide coffee flavor but will be flatter, less bright and could also give a muddy mouthfeel.
