Grind Your Coffee Bean

1. Different cooking equipment is suitable for different grinding degrees.

The finer you grind, the easier it is to bring out the substances of coffee, but not all of these substances will be the taste we like.

two。 Coffee beans with different roasting degrees will also affect the grinding results.

Because the shallow roasted beans are hard and compact, the powder ground at the same degree of grinding may be coarser than deep roasting.

3. First start the bean grinder and then put the bean grinding, or first put the bean and then start the bean mill grinding, the difference between the two will also affect the flavor.

In order to prevent the knife plate, we generally recommend to turn on the machine before putting the beans.

4. Coffee powder is usually left on the knife plate of the bean grinder, and the residual powder may appear during grinding. It is necessary to clean the bean grinder regularly with a brush and a blow ball.

5. The knife head of the bean grinder will wear out even if it has been used for a long time, and it is not always possible to grind the same coffee with the same scale.

6. The ground powder will have fine powder or silver skin. if you pay attention to it, use a sieve to remove it, which can reduce the astringency and miscellaneous taste of coffee and other negative flavors.

7. More fastidious people will throw a few coffee beans to "wash the bean grinder" before grinding, which can remove the stale powder and smell in the bean grinder more thoroughly.

8. When grinding beans, try to weigh the amount of coffee, do not use spoons as a measuring tool.

9. If you don't have a bean grinder, you can take a small amount of coffee beans and ask the store to help you grind them, but don't grind them one at a time and put them in a container. The flavor will dissipate easily.
