Tips for adjusting the coarseness of hand-grinded coffee beans: the secret to perfectly mastering the fineness of grinding!

Hand-grinding coffee beans is a traditional way of grinding, which allows you to better control the fineness of the coffee and adjust the perfect taste. However, it is not easy to perfectly master the secret of grinding fineness. Here are three key tips to help you adjust the ideal coarseness when hand-grinding coffee beans.

First of all, before you start grinding manually, you need to understand the impact of different coarseness on the taste of coffee. Generally speaking, coarser coffee powder will take longer to brew, and will show lighter dark color, higher acidity and clarity, and larger volume; while finer coffee powder will shorten the brewing time, and will show darker color, bitterness, and higher oil load. Therefore, when choosing the right coarseness, you need to judge according to your own preferences and the brewing equipment used.

Secondly, pay attention to maintaining stability and uniformity during the specific operation. Manual operation may be affected by factors such as force and speed, resulting in uneven ground coffee powder. To avoid this, you can try to use a more stable posture and force, and maintain a certain speed and rhythm during the grinding process. In addition, you can also try to grind the coffee beans in batches to ensure that you can get uniform and fine coffee powder every time.

Finally, experiment and adjust the fineness. Since everyone has different taste preferences, there is no fixed and accurate standard for fineness. Therefore, it takes multiple experiments and adjustments during the manual grinding process to find the fineness that best suits your taste needs. You can choose a relatively coarse or fine initial setting and make fine adjustments based on the brewing results. If you feel that the taste is too light or sour, you can increase the coarseness appropriately; if you feel that the taste is bitter or the oil load is too high, you can reduce the coarseness appropriately.
