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.“

Espresso Grinding and Dosing

  „To extract espresso properly it is essential to use a burr grinder and to grind per order.  The two major types of burrs used are flat and conical.  Conical burrs are desirable because they increase the surface area of each particle and the amount of flavor that can be extracted from the coffee.  Since conical burrs have longer cutting edges, the burrs can rotate at lower speeds which reduces the heat created.  Flat burrs should be replaced after 600 pounds of coffee have been ground and conical burrs should be replaced after 2000 pounds of coffee have been ground.“

  „It will also be difficult or impossible for you to push the plunger down in your pot if the grind is too fine. Now here is an application for your French press that you probably don't know about. Heat a cup of milk (non-fat works best) in a sauce pan on your stove or in a microwave. It should be heated just until it is too hot to put your finger in it.“

  „The Solis Maestro Plus Grinder Looking for a grinder that will not shake itself off of the table or a grinder that is actually capable of grinding espresso, drip, french-press and perk styles all in the same day? Consider the big brother to the Solis Maestro, the Maestro-Plus. The Plus is not only heavier(it feels twice as heavy) than the regular Maestro but it has a significantly higher range of grind settings! A new metal base and grey enclosure give this new grinder a  distinctive look, with physical improvements more than doubling of the weight over the basic Maestro to 7.5 lbs.“

  „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.“

It's All About Coffee

  „Ideally one should use 55g of coffee per liter of water. The grind should be between a French press size and a drip coffee size. The coffee should be roasted light (Agtron 65). In the industry we often stop the roast about 30 seconds into the first crack long before the start of the second crack.“
