Front Street-hand Coffee Grinding degree

The importance of grinding degree lies in that it affects the concentration and extraction rate of coffee, and the obvious change in taste is the change of alcohol thickness. Under the same conditions (the same ratio of powder to water, the same water temperature, the same way of water injection, the same brewing time), finely ground coffee has high concentration, high extraction rate and high alcohol thickness; coarse ground coffee has low concentration, low extraction rate and low alcohol thickness. Therefore, it is also critical to choose a suitable bean grinder, from entry to specialty, the grinding performance of bean grinders with different prices will be different.

What is suitable for hand-brewing coffee is medium-fine grinding to medium-grinding (particles are the same size as granulated sugar and fine white sugar), such as commercial single-product bean grinder Ditting KR804, when the scale is between 6 and 8, you need to think about the flavor expressed when brewing, and then adjust and determine.

When making coffee, the shorter the time spent using utensils or machines, the finer the coffee powder should be. On the contrary, the longer it takes to make coffee, the thicker the coffee powder should be.

Medium and fine powder, (suitable for light baked beans, small Fuji ghost teeth 3.5)

Medium and fine powder ≈ white granulated sugar (the most common white granulated sugar in the supermarket, a little bigger than that). Generally, the hand will eventually be fixed on the thickness of the medium and fine powder, because the medium and fine powder is very commonly used, so if you love coffee, you should try your own coffee mill and find the most suitable level of medium and fine powder.
