World of coffee and tea

Grinding coffee plays a crucial role in achieving a superior cup of coffee

Autor: Franck d.d.

Grinding coffee is both an art and a science; it's fascinating to note that the grinding process can significantly enhance the flavor of your favorite cup of coffee.

Many of us would agree that there's no better way to wake up than with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. For many, it's a gentle reminder of mornings and the start of a new day, helping us to wake up and prepare for the day ahead. It evokes a feeling of warmth and comfort when associated with the familiar scent of home or the ambiance of a beloved café. Additionally, it instills a sense of focus and productivity, whether facing significant work challenges or engaging in study sessions. However, despite our love for the aroma of coffee, few of us consider the crucial role the coffee-grinding process plays in crafting the perfect cup.

The impact of grinding on coffee flavor

Grinding has a decisive impact on the final taste and quality of the coffee beverage. The goal is to break the coffee bean into fine particles, allowing water to extract the maximum flavor. Each coffee preparation method requires specific grinding, and it's worth noting that ground coffee loses its freshness rapidly, making it ideal to grind it immediately before brewing.

Adjusting grinding for different coffee preparation methods

There are three primary grinding methods: fine (resembling powder) for Turkish coffee, medium (resembling sea sand) for espresso, and coarse (resembling kitchen salt) for various filter coffee methods. It's crucial to adjust the grind based on the coffee roast level. Lighter roasts benefit from a finer grind, while darker roasts require a coarser grind.

Choosing the right grinder

Grinders typically feature two main types of blades: conical and flat. Their adjustment significantly impacts the aroma of the resulting brew. Blades set too close together produce excessively fine grounds, potentially leading to bitterness in the coffee. Conversely, blades set too far apart yield overly coarse grounds that may remain under-extracted during brewing, resulting in an unpleasant acidity. Therefore, the key is achieving the right balance.

For home use, a manual grinder with ceramic conical blades is recommended. Smaller-scale hospitality establishments may opt for grinders with flat blades, while larger quantities of coffee demand grinders with conical blades and a robust motor.

Maintenance - the key to grinder longevity

Regular maintenance of grinder blades is essential to prevent the buildup of essential oils, which can compromise the quality of the resulting brew.
