Regular coffee drinkers must have noticed that coffee bean grinders are standard whether you go to a chain cafe or a private cafe. For professional baristas, a good grinder is an important step to ensure the quality of a cup of coffee.

Why is coffee grinding so important? Ground coffee beans, the surface area will increase by about 1000 times, more convenient to extract the active ingredients in coffee beans, so that we can make a cup of rich coffee in just a few minutes.

The best way to describe the grinding time is to say that it is "seconds away", and the fragrance will dissipate within 30 seconds to 3 minutes. Therefore, the ideal time to grind coffee is before cooking. Moreover, in the absence of proper storage, coffee powder is also easy to taste, must be drunk within 2 weeks oh.

Proper grinding of coffee powder is very important for making a good cup of coffee, and the thickness of the powder depends on the way of cooking. Generally speaking, the shorter the cooking time, the finer the ground powder; the longer the cooking time, the coarser the ground powder. Different brewing tools, coffee powder thickness is also different.

Hand-made pot grinding degree: medium ground powder hand-made coffee, generally suitable for medium ground coffee powder, medium ground powder is like the thickness of white granulated sugar particles. When you pinch it with your fingers, you can see the polygonal coffee powder, which is moderately ground, not floury.

Siphon pot grinding degree: moderate grinding powder siphon pot extraction time is generally around 1 minute, the temperature is about 92 degrees. If the coffee powder is too fine, it will not only over-extract, but also cause the coffee liquid to block the pipe when it flows back. If the coffee powder is too coarse, it will cause the aromatic substances to remain hidden inside the particles and cannot be extracted with hot water. So a medium grind, similar to hand brewed coffee, is best.

The grinding degree of the method press pot: coarse and medium grinding powder is the most direct coffee extraction principle-soaking + filtration method. So that the oil and aromatic substances extracted from coffee can pass through the filter smoothly without being blocked, so the coarse and medium ground powder is the most suitable, and the coarse and medium ground powder is as big as the rice grain.

Italian machine grinding degree: fineness grinding powder In the process of extracting coffee by Italian machine, coffee powder needs to withstand high pressure and high temperature, so the powder must be fine, and the powder cake is evenly pressed, so that coffee powder can block water pressure and evenly extract. Fineness ground powder is like fine sand.

Mocha pot grinding degree: fineness grinding powder Mocha pot extraction principle is the same as the Italian coffee machine, need pressure, so the coffee powder must be fine, so as to extract the concentrated coffee liquid, so Mocha pot with fineness grinding powder is the best.

Belgium pot grinding degree: medium grinding powder Belgium pot principle with siphon pot principle is a bit like, Belgium pot operation is simpler, just pay attention to the amount of water and coffee powder is good, Belgium pot extraction is best also with moderate grinding powder, so, coffee grounds and coffee liquid easier to separate, do not block the catheter, coffee aroma is just right.

Grind coffee beans tips: grind coffee beans at home, preferably after the water boils, and then start grinding coffee beans, so as to retain the original aroma of coffee. Grinding coffee bean tools should also pay attention to, to adjust the coffee bean thickness of the grinder, so that you can easily grind a variety of thickness coffee powder at home. Coffee friends who like to enjoy slow life can choose hand-operated bean grinder to enjoy the fun of grinding beans slowly.

In order to extract the substances in coffee beans correctly, in addition to grinding coffee beans to different degrees of thickness, it is also very important to make the particle size uniform. If the grinding thickness is different, because the fine coffee powder is extracted faster by water than the coarse coffee powder, the extraction time cannot be controlled. That is, in the same time, when the fine coffee powder has been extracted excessively because it has been soaked in water for too long, Coarse coffee powder is not extracted enough because of insufficient soaking time, and such coffee will certainly not be a good cup of coffee.
