CHOOSING YOUR COFFEE
WHAT GRIND TYPE DO I NEED TO ORDER?
There are different types of coffee grinds as the grind size affects how coffee is extracted and the flavour of the resulting brew:
Extraction
The grind size affects how quickly water extracts flavour compounds from the coffee grounds. Finer grinds have more surface area, so water flows more slowly and has more contact with the grounds, resulting in faster extraction.
FLAVOUR
The grind size affects the strength and flavour of the coffee. Finer grinds result in a smoother, richer cup of coffee, while coarser grinds result in a lighter, more complex cup.
BREWING METHOD
Different brewing methods require different grind sizes. For example, espresso machines use fine grinds because the water passes through the grounds quickly at high pressure. French Press brew uses coarse grinds because the coffee sits with the water for a longer period of time.
