How do I grind my coffee??
Espresso, drip coffee, aeropress, French press, Turkish coffee…there are several methods to brew some nice coffee, but to make it tastes like heaven, you must grind it right! There are also a pricing question when talking about this, specially if you don`t have an expensive grinder and we will start this article talking about this!
If you want to buy a coffee grinder you will probably notice a huge amount of different products with different price range and YES, quality means a more expensive grinder, but the amount you spend depends on what kind of coffee you are making. An espresso requires a finer and consistency grind, in the other hand a drip coffee requires a coarse grind without much consistency. The more expensive the grind is, more grind levels it has and more consistency you will get!
In fact, people use to have an espresso at cafeterias because they have the right equipment to extract an amazing cup, it is very expensive to have a grinder with espresso settings and a great espresso machine at home, it would be much cheaper to buy ground coffee and paper filters, that’s why ground coffee is the most consumed product in the coffee industry and not whole beans!
Just above we will show you some grind levels with its respective method. Semi-professionals grinders use to have 50 different levels and other some other cheaper grinders comes just with one blade without any settings.
Extra Coarse Grind – great for Cupping and Cold Brewing
Coarse Grind – great for French Press
Medium Grind – great for Chemex, vacuum pots, siphon and Pourover cones
Fine Grind – great for espresso and aeropress
Extra Fine Grind – great for Turkish
Make sure before buying a coffee grind what is your need, don`t make a mistake spending a lot on an excellent grind if you don`t have an espresso machine!
Thanks!!!
