What effect does the grinding degree of the bean grinder have on coffee brewing?

During extraction, the finer the grinding, the more flavor you will get. On the contrary, the coarser the grinding, the less flavor will be obtained. Through the flavor wheel, we can clearly find that coffee contains not only good taste, but also bad taste, so when grinding, it is not the finer the better, there must be a relative range of grinding.

Whether the coffee powder produced by a bean grinder is uniform or not is very important. When the ground coffee particles are uneven, the thicker particles are prone to underextraction, while the finer coffee powder is prone to excessive extraction, so the uneven coffee powder and the extracted coffee, we will easily taste the turbid and irritating smell. In contrast, if we grind the coffee evenly, we can get the coffee with relatively balanced and clear flavor.

Then, let's analyze the different effects of several common bean grinders on extraction.

[EK43]

There is no doubt that EK43 is one of the most popular bean grinders in the boutique coffee market in recent years. As the face of the bean grinder, Xiaobian is also a porridge-- it is also a recognized performance monster in the industry, both in terms of grinding speed and evenness, and the coffee extraction rate is very high. It can not only meet the grinding of single coffee, the grinding span can also reach the grinding degree of Italian concentration, and the amount of residual powder is very small. The flavor and sweetness show better, even if the price is not cheap, it is always in short supply.

Of course, the so-called high extraction rate also has advantages and disadvantages. I talked a lot about the advantages of EK. The reason why we mentioned the extraction rate here, of course, we have done more tests of brand bean grinders. In the blind test, the performance of EK in some beans is even worse than that of some ordinary brands of bean grinders. Of course, this does not mean that EK is worse than others. In these blind tests, the beans with weak EK performance will have some characteristics, and most of the coffee beans are not of high quality. In the blind test that the quality of beans is good enough, EK's performance is still amazing. So here is the suggestion to choose the friends of EK, pay attention to what kind of coffee beans you use, and don't blindly think that the grinder is good or expensive and you can make satisfactory coffee. The high extraction rate will extract not only the good taste but also the bad taste.

There is also the tragic EK anti-static small iron sheet is still relatively fragile, but this part is regarded as consumables! For the sake of appearance and editor, I still choose EK.

[Ditting]

Ditting gives people the first impression is down-to-earth, of course, it looks like a power type, more square. As a high-end bean grinder comparable to EK43, it is simply made for practicality, of course, it can be made in both individual and Italian style, and the grinding speed is very fast. And it is worth mentioning that the taste of coffee extracted by Ditting is quite good, cleanliness and smoothness are very good in the blind test under the same conditions.

Of course, according to the usual practice, we will not only elaborate on the advantages, Ditting is a little more troublesome in the convenience of grinding beans, when we normally use the bean grinder, it is best to turn on the switch of the bean grinder and throw beans when the motor is running, so that the grinding uniformity is more uniform and the loss of the knife head of the bean grinder is relatively reduced. The design of the Ditting without a bezel over there is more troublesome, requiring at least two containers of beans, and it can be easier to leak a little bit of powder from the edge, which is an acceptable range. I personally feel that these small details are not a problem as long as they are handled properly, so our Ditting deserves to be a practical bean grinder.

Next, there are several bean grinders suitable for household use or in some stores with small coffee production.

[Hui Jia]

As a household bean grinder, you can also achieve both Italian and individual products. of course, the editor does not recommend using this bean grinder in Italian style. as a tapered knife head, the performance is good based on the taste, and the price is very satisfactory-very suitable for children's shoes that want a cup of coffee at home but do not want to grind them by hand!

After grinding, there will be a small pinch of very fine powder on the surface. It is recommended to remove this handful of powder with a small spoon after grinding, so that this small part of the powder will not be used to cause excessive extraction.
