Several Grinding methods of Coffee beans

The smell of coffee is charming, it will not lie, choose your favorite coffee beans, the next is how to grind the coffee beans. The roasted coffee beans are ground into powder, which is called Grinding, and after the coffee beans are ground into powder, the fresh flavor of the coffee will gradually disappear, so grinding coffee is best prepared before brewing coffee and grind it only once.

Because after the coffee bean becomes powdered, its area increases, it is easier to absorb oxygen and moisture in the air, and the coffee powder is easy to deteriorate, which affects the flavor of brewed coffee. In addition, roasted coffee beans contain carbon dioxide and aroma in the beans. As soon as they are ground and placed for a long time, when the carbon dioxide and aroma are released, how can the brewed coffee taste good? No matter how good a master is, he cannot do it.

It is best to grind as much as you want to drink, and different ways of brewing coffee are used, because the thickness of coffee powder will affect the taste of coffee brewing, and the thickness of roasted coffee beans must be different in order to get the best release of coffee liquid.

In addition to the particle size of ground and roasted coffee, uniformity is also very important. If the size is uneven during grinding, the concentration of the brewed coffee will be too strong or too weak, and fine grinding usually requires good grinding equipment to support the extraction of the perfect coffee liquid. Generally speaking, there are three types of props for grinding coffee:

Hand bean grinder (Hand Crank Coffee Mill)

Saw tooth bean grinder (Burr Mills)

The price is relatively high among the three kinds of bean grinders. This kind of bean grinder, with scale instructions, can grind coffee to the degree you like. In addition, because when grinding beans, when sawtooth grinds coffee beans, the friction temperature is relatively low, so it does not affect the taste of coffee.

Propeller bean grinder (Blade grinders)

This kind of bean grinder uses a blade oar to grind the roasted coffee beans into coffee powder, and the price is lower than the sawtooth type bean grinder. The disadvantage is that there is no way to grind the coffee powder of uniform size correctly, but it is convenient to use.

In general, most of the small electric grinders used in the home can not grind the coffee beans evenly and uniformly, so they should rotate as gently as possible to avoid friction and heat and lose the fragrance of the beans. In order to have a good cup of coffee, so don't ignore the importance of grinding every time you taste the coffee.

Whether a cup of coffee is fresh and mellow has been told in advance when grinding; when the grinder is started, the aroma of the coffee will come out in bursts, and people can't help but drink a few more cups. And the person who knows how to taste coffee, the smell of coffee in his memory must include the smell of coffee that overflows in the air during grinding.
