No matter what coffee beans you use,
the right grind for brewing great coffee depends on the
brewing cycle of your coffee equipment. If you don’t
know your equipment’s brewing cycle, take a watch and
time how long it takes for the water to pass through the
coffee grounds and fill the decanter. Once you know your
brewing cycle, match this with the correct grind of coffee
bean in the chart.
Let’s say you use a coarse grind of coffee in a filter-drip
brewer with a short (2-4 minute) brewing cycle. With a coarse
grind’s larger particle size, the resulting brew will
be weak and tasteless because very little of the coffee’s
true flavor has been extracted by the brew water. On the
other hand, using a fine grind in a coffee brewer with a
longer (4-6 minute) brewing cycle can result in bitter tasting
coffee.
To serve a great cup of coffee every time, know your brewing
cycle time, then match it with the right grind.
