How to adjust the scale of Italian bean grinder-mazzer bean mill thickness adjustment

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 tip: when you find the right powder thickness, twist it or pinch it with your hand from time to time, 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 thinner and can improve your efficiency.

There is often such a phenomenon, after the degree of grinding has been adjusted, the strength of the pressing powder has never changed, and there are two situations during cooking and extraction: the first is the emergence of dark brown oil, and the flow of coffee liquid during extraction is also unstable. It is too fine in the early stage, it is difficult to get out of the water, and the extraction time is too long, that is, the first kind of excessive extraction phenomenon, the taste will appear scorched taste, and there will be coffee grounds in the mouth. This is the typical result of excessive powder pressing. The second is the extraction time is short, the effluent is too thick, about 15 seconds out of 30CC, the coffee color is light brown, the taste is sour! This is typical of the small strength of the pressing powder, and the rapid passage of water through the coffee powder!

As for the conical knife, this is also ten thousand jin of oil. Except for the top MAZZER ROBUR, most other products are compatible with Italian and individual products. However, there is a serious differentiation between the two levels in the world of conical knives, either tens of thousands of top Italian bean grinders or low-end entry-level products! Household entry-level products are represented by BARATZA ENCORE, and most household-grade cones are compatible with individual products and Italian style. However, the quality of the product is of different opinions. Because the cone knife has high efficiency and fast grinding speed, a good cone knife will have the right amount of fine powder in the product can significantly improve the hierarchical sense of coffee, so the standard bean grinder in many top cafes will choose it. However, some people will feel that fine powder leads to miscellaneous smell in coffee extraction and restrains the cone knife. As for how to choose, you really have to try this for yourself to understand! After all, what suits your taste is the best! The cone cutter is also favored by most manual bean grinders because of its high grinding efficiency. The HARIO 2TB grinder Lido 2 is a cone cutter design.
