Coffee Buying Tips, Coffee Grinding Tips (#)

  „If the cycle takes longer than six minutes, grind your coffee coarser. When using a French press, the coffee will need to be ground extremely coarse. Espresso requires an extremely fine grind...almost powder-like with a slight grittiness. The key to the proper espresso grind is the extraction time.“

  „Grinding should always be done moments before brewing as it creates a greater surface area thus speeding up oxidation. My experience is that french press requires a coarser grind than conventional brewing, as I once created a pot of muddy mess by finely grinding the beans.“

Coffee Grinding

  „Each brewing method required a different grind size:  Drip coffee requires a medium size grind, espresso requires a fine size grind, a French press requires the largest grind size, while the vacuum pot also requires the largest grind size.  For cupping it is preferred to use a French press size.“

  „having made a few toddy coffees in my time, i'd suggest using a coarser ground than espresso grind. i've always been told the longer the brewing time, the coarser the grind. you mentioned seattle's best (now owned by starbucks...eeek)- their best-selling drink is a Naughty Toddy, Gloria Jean's is a Hotty Toddy- all use Toddy's process. i've asked managers at both places, and they use a medium roast, coarse grind- sorta like what you would use in an old fashioned percolator.“
