Judge the quality of the powder

Looking at coffee powder, a good coffee powder should be powdery and have a gritty granular feel. If the coffee powder is soft, like flour, it means that the powder is fine. Conversely, if the coffee powder feels tough and coarse, it means that the powder is too coarse.

Determine the direction of adjustment you need (finer or coarser). Make sure there are enough beans in the bean bin and that the valve between the bean bin and the sharpener is open so that the beans can fall smoothly into the grinding area.

Turn on the grinder for 10 seconds and discard the coffee grounds (these are unground coffee grounds).

Make a cup of coffee with the resulting coffee powder, ensuring that the weight, smoothing and pressing steps are accurate. The traditional Italian Ristretto method uses a water-to-powder ratio of 1:1 (i.e., 18 grams of ground coffee is used to make 18 grams of coffee) or 1:2 (i.e., 18 grams of ground coffee is used to make 36 grams of coffee), while the regular Italian espresso uses a water-to-powder ratio of 1:2 (i.e.,"Normale"). Test coffee quality and extraction time. Continuously adjust the dial to achieve the perfect powder thickness.

Bean grinder adjustment tutorial

Different grinders have different adjustment dials, so you should check the model of the coffee grinder and read the instructions carefully to determine the direction and strength of the dial. In general, if you keep checking the grinder settings, you only need to make very small adjustments. Just move the dial scale within 3 mm, you can change the thickness of the powder. Although 3 mm is a very small number, the grinding time of the same coffee beans will change by 3-5 seconds.

The overall composition and density of different varieties of beans in different producing areas are different, and different baking degrees will also cause differences in hardness, resulting in changes in the speed of grinding and the size of particles. As a result, the powder thickness scale, powder amount and powder pressing strength of beans before appear to be somewhat weak, just like you can't wear your wife's shoes hard on your feet. Therefore, many foreign restaurants will use fixed bean grinders for fixed beans, in order to ensure the stability of their grinding effect as much as possible.

Therefore, the final suggestion is that in the case of fixed beans, first set the amount of powder, then find the powder thickness, and then use a more stable strength to find the feel, the efficiency should be the highest.
