Can a wall breaking machine grind coffee beans?

Coffee bean grinding machine

Coffee beans grinder is a common household appliance, mainly used to process nuts, grains and other food materials. However, in recent years, some people have begun to try to use coffee beans grinder to improve the taste and aroma of coffee. This article will discuss this topic.

1. The principle and applicability of the wall breaking machine

First, we need to understand the principle of the wall breaker. Simply put, the wall breaker uses high-speed rotating blades to crush the ingredients. This processing method can effectively break hard ingredients such as nuts and grains into powder or fine particles.

However, before considering whether it is suitable to use a coffee bean grinder to grind coffee beans, we need to understand the characteristics of coffee beans. Compared with hard ingredients such as nuts and grains, coffee beans are more fragile and easy to break. Therefore, you need to be extra careful when using a coffee bean grinder and control the time and strength.

2. Choice of rolling and friction wall breaking machine

When choosing a coffee bean grinder, we can consider two different types of grinders: crushing and friction.

The roller crusher squeezes and shears the ingredients through rollers, which is suitable for hard ingredients. However, for fragile ingredients such as coffee beans, using a roller crusher may result in over-crushing or produce too many fine particles.

In contrast, the friction type wall breaker is more suitable for grinding coffee beans. It uses high-speed rotating blades to generate friction with the inside of the container and quickly grinds the ingredients into powder. Because there is a certain distance between the blade and the container, the time and force can be better controlled when using it.

3. Grinding time and strength control

No matter which type of coffee bean grinder you use, you need to pay attention to controlling the time and strength when operating it.

The first is time control. Since coffee beans are relatively fragile, grinding for too long may cause over-crushing and affect the taste of the coffee. Therefore, when using a coffee grinder, the grinding time should be controlled according to personal taste and the characteristics of the coffee beans.

The second is strength control. When using a friction wall breaker, the distance between the blade and the container can affect the grinding strength. If the distance is too close, the coffee beans may be over-crushed; if the distance is too far, the desired effect may not be achieved. Therefore, you need to keep trying and adjusting during operation to find the strength that suits you best.

4. The effect of grinding coffee beans with a coffee bean grinder

So, can using a coffee bean grinder to grind coffee beans improve the taste and aroma of coffee? In fact, there is no clear answer.

On the one hand, by using a friction wall breaker for proper grinding, some fine particles can release more aroma and increase the contact area with water, thereby improving the aroma and taste of the soaked coffee.

On the other hand, over-grinding may cause the oils in the coffee beans to be released, making the coffee too bitter. In addition, improper grinding time and strength may also affect the taste of the coffee.

5. Conclusion

In summary, using a coffee bean grinder to grind coffee beans is an interesting experiment. However, you need to pay attention to controlling the time and strength during operation, and adjust according to your personal taste. At the same time, you should also realize that no matter what method you use to process coffee beans, the most important thing is to choose high-quality fresh coffee beans and use a brewing method that suits your taste.

I hope this article can help you understand coffee bean grinders and coffee bean grinding!
