Coffee Beans

Experimenting with the Grinder will enable you to get exactly the grind you prefer for your coffee. A fine grind exposes more surface to the water and therefore a more rapid rate of extraction of flavour. A coarser grind, which exposes little surface, is appropriate for the longer brewing cycle of percolators. Check your coffee maker instructions for the type of grind that is best.

For the freshest, most robut cup of coffee, grind only enough coffee for the pot you are making. If you are making a large pot, you may need to grind in two batches. Coffee beans will keep up to 2 months in the freezer (in an airtight container) and can be ground while still frozen. Fresh beans will yield the best flavour and aroma.

Tips for making espresso:

a)The coffee must be finely ground but not too fine. The correct grind should look gritty like salt or sand.

b)If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee when brewing.

c) If the grind is too coarse, the water will flow through too fast.
