When it comes to brewing the perfect cups of java, you’ll need to grind your coffee to different sizes to better suit different brewing methods. This will result in different tastes, flavor, and robustness in your final drink, and should not be overlooked. So the next time you grind your coffee, make sure to check our grind chart to choose the best setting for your grinder. Coarse - coarse and evenly grinded coffee will work great with the French Press brewing style, which will require more time for the water to soak up the flavor and drip down to your cup. If you grind your coffee too fine, then the java will taste bitter. Too coarse, it’ll take much longer for your coffee drink to drip down. Medium-coarse - for the similar style of Pour Over, you don’t need the coffee ground to be too large, but they should still maintain a decent level of coarseness. The size and texture will allow the water to soak up the coffee ground before dropping down to your cup. Medium - and this is the most common grinding size that you’ll need for your everyday Machine Drip or Siphon coffee machines. Since the hot water will gently drop down onto the coffee ground, they don’t need to be too coarse. Fine - for the popular espresso machines, people often use finer coffee ground to ensure their flavor. Due to the quick brewing time, you’ll need precise control on the grinding level of your coffee beans. Or else, your coffee will end up either too mild or too concentrated. Extra fine - and for the distinctive taste of Turkish coffee, you’ll need to grind your coffee beans extra fine. Otherwise, you won’t be able to have that creamy taste from your brew.
