Grind fresh, grind right

The biggest easy upgrade.

4 min read

Ground coffee loses aroma quickly. Grinding just before brewing makes a noticeable difference.

Grind size

  • Coarse, like sea salt: French press and cold brew
  • Medium, like sand: drip machines
  • Medium-fine: pour-over
  • Fine: espresso and moka pots

Grinders

Burr grinders give an even grind. Blade grinders work too; pulse and shake for a more even result.
