How to adjust the scale of Italian coffee grinder

To observe the coffee powder, the high-quality coffee powder should be powdered and gravel. If the coffee powder is soft, like flour, it means the powder is fine. On the contrary, if the coffee powder feels tough and rough, it means the powder is too coarse.

When the coffee bean enters the grinder, the blade in the grinder will crush the coffee bean into powder. The smaller the distance between the blade and the blade, the smaller the coffee beans will be ground into smaller particles.

The finer the grinding particles are, the tighter they are, and the more difficult it is for the water to pass through, thus greatly prolonging the extraction time.

On the contrary, if the distance between the blades increases, the ground particles will become rougher, the flow of water will be easier to pass through, and the extraction time will be faster. To take a simple example, like stones and fine sand, water flows much faster through stones than fine sand, because there is more space between the stones for the flow of water to pass quickly.

Therefore, the correct grinding is very important, and the particle size directly affects the quality of the extraction.
