GRIND

Coffee brewing is all about consistency.  Your coffee grind is one such topic.

​

The objective of grinding coffee is to increase the surface area of the coffee bean, by splitting it up in small particles. These particles need to be consistent in size. Consistent grind size mean, regardless of brewing process, consistent extraction of gasses and oils from bean. That is why bur grinders are preferred to blade grinders. Blade grinders "chop" the bean into fragments, which are inconsistent in size. Which result in an inconsistent extraction.
