How to adjust the Grinding degree of hario Bean Mill-mazzer Bean Mill thickness Adjustment

40% of the netizens who patronize the small station come by inquiring about the Hario bean grinder, and most of them want to know how to adjust the scale. So I simply made a comparison, so that friends who want to buy this machine have a bottom in mind.

Today's test subjects, Qianjie Coffee with Italian beans

First of all, remove the handle of the bean grinder, leaving only the bottom gear.

Adjust the height of the gear and put the bamboo shoots on it.

After you put your hands back, you can grind the beans.

Count carefully, the height of this gear has eight laps, which can be adjusted in a wide range, but if it is adjusted to the highest point, even beans can be leaked, of course, it is very impractical, so I will only test the lowest point and start counting a total of five laps.

Unground beans.

Five groups of ground beans

After turning to the lowest place, the gap is so narrow that the beans can hardly be ground. It feels like peeling coffee beans and giving up after grinding a few times. However, you can see that the bean powder is very meticulous. Friends who have time can give it a try.

The lowest point plus a circle:

Add two laps to the lowest point, and the particles begin to get thicker:

Add three laps to the low

Add four laps to the low point, and it will only be crushed to the size of 1/4.

Because we can't find a suitable mark at the moment, these photos don't have a scale, so we can still see the thickness of the powder. The design of the gear cart is fine-tuned with a precision of 1/6 laps. I use the plug kettle, which is used to grind beans with the lowest point plus one and 2/3 laps. Most manual bean grinders have more or less the same principle, and you can adjust the scale according to the type of utensils and taste. The Espresso Roast I tried this time is a mixed bean with a strong fruity aroma. At first taste, the earthy taste is obvious, but the taste remaining on the tip of the tongue is very sweet. I quite like it.

Humidity factors play a role not only in sunny and rainy days, but also at different times of the day. Generally speaking, the humidity in the morning and evening is higher than that at noon, so according to the influence of humidity factors, the grinding degree should be thickened in the morning and evening, and finer at noon.

There are many other factors that affect the degree of grinding, including the roasting degree of coffee beans (although coffee beans used by Espresso should use a deeper roasting degree, but sometimes different roasting degrees may be used to roast formula beans for richer taste), blended recipes, and so on. All of the above are the most common and can be mastered by baristas. The previous sections are all about the adjustment of the basic factors in the production process in order to meet that taste standard on the premise of understanding the good taste of Espresso (see the taste of Espresso). There are many places in the world of Espresso that we don't fully understand, and we would like to explore this wonderful world of coffee with you.

So my last suggestion is, in the case of fixed beans, first set the amount of powder, and then find the powder thickness, and then use a more wavering strength to find the feel, obedience should be the highest.

The scale is just a reference, different brands have different grinding scales, and the performance of the same model bean grinder of the same brand under the same scale is not exactly the same. it is better to understand it this way: the scale just tells you which direction is thick and which is fine. when you find a suitable powder thickness, the role of the scale will show a little bit. The premise is that only your bean grinder, and can not change the beans, the amount of powder does not change, the strength of the powder can not be changed.

Remember a little trick: when you find the right powder thickness, twist it with your hand from time to time, pinch it, feel it with your body and write it down as much as possible, so that even if you change the bean grinder, you don't have to rely solely on the scale to judge. If you pinch it with your hand, it will be significantly thicker, which can greatly improve your efficiency.
