ABOUT GRINDING COFFEE
The proper grind gives the most flavorful cup of coffee. The size of the grind depends on the me- thod by which the coffee is to be brewed. Gene- rally, the finer the grind the more quickly the coffee should be prepared, that is why coffee ground for use in an espresso machine is much finer than coffee to be brewed in a drip system.
Coffee that is ground too fine for a particular bre- wing process - (fine espresso grind used in an automatic drip coffee machine) will result in over- extraction and bitter, pungent tasting coffee. Con- versely, coffee that is too coarse for a particular brewing method will result in
In addition to providing a number of grind set- tings, coffee mills provide a consistent grind. This is important to ensure the extraction is con- sistent across all of the ground coffee particles.
