Grinding of coffee beans and the number of cups of aromatic coffee

Coffee is a popular drink in Nestle capsule coffee machines, and making a cup of fragrant and delicious coffee is inseparable from high-quality coffee beans. So, how many cups of fragrant coffee can be ground from one pound of coffee beans? Below we will explore this issue from different angles.

1. Raw material selection and baking degree

First of all, one of the factors that affects how many cups of fragrant coffee can be ground from one pound of coffee beans is the choice of raw materials and the degree of roasting. The varieties of coffee beans produced in different regions, the growing environment, and the picking and processing methods will all affect the final taste. At the same time, different degrees of roasting will also cause the volume of beans of the same weight to change.

Generally speaking, the beans roasted in medium or dark roasts are larger in size, so you can get more cups with a stronger taste when using the same weight. On the other hand, the beans roasted in light or medium roasts are smaller in size, so you can grind more cups, but the taste may be relatively light.

2. Grinding size and extraction method

Secondly, the grinding degree and extraction method of coffee beans will also affect how many cups of fragrant coffee can be ground from one pound of coffee beans. Different coarse and fine grinding degrees are suitable for different extraction methods. For example, coarse powder is suitable for brewing coffee machines or French press pots, while fine powder is suitable for espresso machines.

Generally speaking, using a relatively fine medium to medium-fine grinding degree and adopting efficient extraction methods such as brewing or espresso can produce more cups of coffee with a more fragrant taste per pound of beans. If too coarse or too fine particles are used for brewing, it may lead to insufficient or over-extraction, thus affecting the taste.

3. Storage and preservation

In addition, when considering how many cups of coffee you can make from one pound of coffee beans, storage and preservation are also important factors. The freshness of the coffee beans and the way they are stored directly affect their taste. If the beans are exposed to air or moisture for a long time, the flavor will be lost.

In order to keep the coffee beans fresh, it is recommended to store them in a sealed container in a cool, dry, dark place. In addition, it is best to use them as needed before grinding to avoid premature exposure to air and loss of flavor.

4. Personal taste and number of cups

The last factor is personal taste preference and the amount needed for each cup. Different people may have different amounts of coffee for a cup of aromatic coffee. Some people like a stronger taste and use more beans, while others prefer a lighter taste and can use a relatively smaller amount of beans.

In summary, when considering how many cups of fragrant coffee can be ground from one pound of coffee beans, we need to comprehensively consider factors such as raw material selection and roasting degree, grinding degree and extraction method, storage and preservation, and personal taste preferences. Through reasonable selection and matching, we can make fragrant coffee that suits our taste.
