FONCTIONNEMENT DE VOTRE MOULIN À MEULE CONIQUE

DE BREVILLE

MOUTURE À ESPRESSO

Lorsque vous utilisez une machine à espresso à pompe ou une cafetière automatique, si votre café ou espresso s'infuse trop rapidement, choisissez un réglage pour mouture plus fine. Si votre café ou espresso s'infuse trop lentement, essayez un réglage pour mouture plus grossière.

Lorsque la mouture est trop fine (de consistance farineuse et massive, lorsque comprimée), l'eau ne réussira pas à la traverser. Cela pourrait non seulement bloquer le filtre à double paroi mais aussi produire un espresso surextrait, foncé et amer.

Lorsque la mouture est trop grossière (consistance de sucre granulé), l'eau la traversera trop rapidement, produisant un espresso sous-extrait et sans saveur.

Une mouture à espresso idéale produira un créma de couleur caramel qui flotte à la surface de l'espresso après l'infusion. La mouture doit avoir une consistance de sable fin qui colorera légèrement vos doigts, tout en gardant sa consistance granuleuse.

The Breville BCG450XL/B is a high-performance conical burr grinder designed for coffee enthusiasts who are serious about achieving the perfect brew. This grinder stands out in the crowded coffee grinder market due to its advanced features and reliable performance, making it an ideal choice for home baristas.

One of the key features of the BCG450XL/B is its conical burr grinding mechanism. Unlike blade grinders that can heat coffee beans and produce inconsistent grinds, the conical burr system ensures uniformity in grind size. This is essential for extracting the most flavor from the coffee, as different brewing methods require specific grind sizes to be effective. The burrs are constructed from high-quality stainless steel, promoting durability and longevity.

Another noteworthy aspect of the Breville BCG450XL/B is its grind size settings. It offers an impressive 25 different grind settings, ranging from fine to coarse. This versatility allows users to easily tailor their grind to match different brewing methods, whether it’s espresso, French press, or drip coffee. The precision built into the grind adjustment ensures that users can achieve their desired flavor profile with ease.

The BCG450XL/B is equipped with a dose control feature, allowing users to select the exact amount of coffee they wish to grind. This is particularly useful for those who often brew different quantities. The grinder can produce grounds for as little as one cup or enough for a full pot, ensuring minimal waste and maximum efficiency. Additionally, the integrated timer lets users set grinding times with precision, ensuring a consistent amount of coffee grounds every time.

Ease of use is another hallmark of this grinder, as it features an intuitive interface and clear markings for easy adjustments. The hopper can hold up to 16 ounces of coffee beans, reducing the need for frequent refills. It also has a locking mechanism, making it easy to remove and refill without mess.

The Breville BCG450XL/B is also designed with safety in mind, featuring a safety lock mechanism that prevents operation unless the hopper is securely locked in place. This not only ensures user safety but also contributes to the grinder's overall reliability.

In summary, the Breville BCG450XL/B combines advanced technology, user-friendly features, and durable construction, making it an excellent choice for coffee lovers looking to elevate their brewing experience. With its conical burr grinder, extensive grind settings, dose control, and safety features, this machine stands out as a top contender in the premium coffee grinder market.
