Basic principles of coffee bean grinding: know your coffee and master the best grinding method!

Coffee grinding is one of the most important aspects that determines the taste of coffee. Different grinding methods will affect the flavor and taste of coffee. Therefore, it is very important to understand your coffee and master the best grinding method.

First of all, it is very important to understand the coffee beans you are using. Coffee beans of different types and origins have different characteristics, such as acidity, bitterness, aroma, etc. These characteristics will directly affect your choice of the appropriate grinding method.

Secondly, the choice of appropriate coarseness depends on the brewing method. For drip brewing or French press brewing methods that require a longer contact time with water, a coarser particle size can better control the soaking time and extract more aroma; while for espresso or Turkish sand pot brewing methods that require rapid water flow, a finer particle size is required to ensure that all flavor substances are fully extracted.

Also, pay attention to consistency. Using the same size and quality of coffee beans and the same grind method every time you brew will ensure that the coffee you brew has a consistent taste and flavor every time.

Finally, you need to adjust according to your personal taste. Everyone has different preferences for coffee. Some people like a strong and full taste, while others prefer a light and light taste. Therefore, after mastering the basic principles, you can fine-tune it according to your preferences.

In short, when grinding coffee beans, you should understand the characteristics of the coffee beans you are using and choose the appropriate coarseness according to the brewing method. At the same time, it is also very important to maintain consistency and fine-tune according to personal taste. Only in this way can you brew delicious coffee that is satisfactory and meets your taste requirements.
