Ten Reminders for Coffee Grinding

【Ten Reminders About Coffee Grinding】BY vvcafe Senior

1. The fine powder rate is not as low as possible, but too high fine powder rate must be bad.

2. The bigger the cutter head, the better the drink. Especially in recent years, the technology of cutter head design has continued to evolve, and the small cutter head can also have a very dazzling performance, so it is unnecessary to see the big cutter head and climax.

3. Which one does not heat up, ceramic knife or metal knife? If you use it at home, use 20-30 grams at a time, no matter which knife will be hot, don't worry.

4. You can't blame the grinder for your coffee? Maybe it's to blame. Generally speaking, in addition to the high fine powder rate, the uniformity of particle size is also poor for entry-level grinders, so it is easy to rush out the bitter taste + less pronounced flavor, which is naturally more difficult than high-end grinders. However, high-end grinders are sometimes even more unpalatable than entry-level grinders.

5. A bunch of people say that the tapered knife must be like this, the flat knife must be like that, just look at it, don't believe it. Even if they are all tapered knives, with the difference in knife pattern design and assembly accuracy, you will not believe that they are the same knife when you drink it. Especially in recent years, the design of the cutter head has become more and more innovative, and there are many ways to subvert the old concept.

6. What is the grinding degree of the grinder? Just ask for a reference. First, the same grinder with the same scale may not be the same. Second, everyone's brewing methods are different, and the same coffee powder may not have the same effect. Push back with the flavor profile, and bravely adjust to your own suitable grinding level, and this technique will truly become yours.

7. Flat knife, cone knife, ghost tooth knife and compound knife, none of them is absolutely strong and absolutely delicious, because everyone's tongue is different, there is a chance to come and drink, find your favorite than to speak the vernacular meaningful.

8. Any grinder has strengths and weaknesses, and there is no perfect grinder. It is perfect to be able to understand the advantages and disadvantages of your favorite machine and adjust it with suitable techniques. Of course, switching from an entry-level machine to a high-end machine is still a good shortcut. You can practice a little less gong, but that doesn't mean you can stop practicing gong from now on.

9. It is important to find your destined grind that will allow you to enjoy a good coffee for a while. But don’t forget that you don’t only brew one type of bean, and you don’t only brew one method. Beans with different roasting degrees and different characteristics may need to fine-tune your grinding degree, and different methods may need to greatly adjust your grinding degree. But don't be too troublesome, because adjusting the grinding degree has a great impact on the flavor and it is very interesting, so the grinder that can adjust the grinding degree was invented.

10. Particle size analysis has a certain reference value, but if you don't really understand the meaning of it, you don't need to dance with it.
