Coffee grinding

Coffee grinding is the process of breaking down roasted coffee beans into smaller particles to prepare for brewing. The grind size affects how quickly water extracts flavors and aromas from the coffee. Coarser grinds are used for methods like French press, allowing longer extraction, while finer grinds suit espresso machines, which require quick extraction. The grind consistency also matters; uniform particles ensure even extraction and better flavor. Adjusting the grind size helps optimize taste, aroma, and strength according to different brewing techniques. Proper grinding is essential for achieving the desired coffee quality and flavor profile.
