Tips for the Perfect Grind

  • Consistency is Key: Aim for a uniform grind size to ensure even extraction.
  • Adjust for Brewing Time: Finer grinds generally require shorter brewing times, while coarser grinds may need a longer steeping or brewing period.
  • Experiment: Taste is subjective. Feel free to experiment with grind sizes to find the one that suits your personal preference.
  • Freshness Matters: Grind your coffee just before brewing to preserve the flavors and aromas
