Grinding Guidelines |
|
| |
Selecting grind setting: |
|
| |
Brew Method | Grind Setting | Appearance | |
Percolator or French Press | Coarse | Like salt particles | |
Drip or Vacuum | Medium | Like sand particles | |
Espresso | Fine | Like talcum powder | |
The proper grind is important for the best coffee flavor. The quicker the brewing process is the finer the grind used. Coffee that is ground too fine for a particular brewing process will result in bitter, pungent tasting coffee. Coffee that is ground too coarse will result in weak, watery coffee.
Grind time and yield: |
|
|
Amount of beans | Time | Yield |
¼ cup (57 g) | 30 to 35 seconds | 4 tbsp. |
½ cup (113 g) | 45 to 50 seconds | 8 tbsp. |
¾ cup (170 g) | 60 to 65 seconds | 12 tbsp. |
1 cup (227 g) | 80 to 85 seconds | 16 tbsp. |
GROUND COFFEE TIPS
•For a cup of rich, full flavored coffee use 1½ rounded tablespoons of ground coffee for each
•For optimum flavor it is best to grind the amount of coffee needed immediately before brewing.
•The best place to store coffee beans is in freezer – not in refrigerator, where they can absorb flavors of other foods.
•Coffee beans can be stored in freezer for up to 1 month in a clean, dry, airtight container. Air is coffee’s worst enemy so select a container that the coffee beans fill.
•Beans can be ground while still frozen.
•Do not use coffee grinder to grind spices or nuts; coffee will absorb flavors. We recommend you purchase another grinder to be used exclusively to grind them.
•Blending 2 or more types of beans will result in a richer, more complex brew.
•It is important to clean the ground coffee container after each use; the residual oils from coffee will give an off flavor to next batch of coffee ground.
