Coffee brewing seems simple, but it is a very complex process, from bean selection, bean grinding, to brewing parameters, from coffee bean resume, bean grinder style, to brewing utensils, etc., influence each other and the ring is important! The freshly ground coffee powder can smell the aroma and see the freshness. Have a cup when you are drowsy, and the spirit will come in an instant! However, the coffee powder begins to oxidize quietly from the moment it is ground and comes into contact with the air, and the flavor and aroma will change accordingly, so the ideal situation is to grind the beans before cooking to ensure that the best flavor can be tasted. Bean grinder can be said to be a low-key but extremely important role in hand-brewing coffee cooking, and it is also one of the absolute indicators that affect the final flavor of coffee!
Introduction of common cutter head of bean grinder
The reason why the bean grinder is important is that, in addition to the freshest coffee powder, the thickness of the coffee powder is also an important factor affecting the taste and extraction degree, and all kinds of bean grinders on the market have their own characteristics. different cutterhead structures also have their own thickness suitable for grinding, and the choice will be based on demand (personal, household, business, etc.), price, quality, cooking methods, personal preferences and so on.
