How should you grind your coffee?

Ideally, buy coffee as entire beans and grind it at home. This will help maintain its freshness. Ground coffee will become stale much faster than full beans. 2 basic kinds of grinders are available for home use.

Blade grinders : These are comparatively small and cheap. Their simple design is a closed chamber with a metal blade in the center. After the chamber is filled with coffee, the metal blade whirls at high speed to grind it. Particle size is determined by the period the grinder runs. 2 Problems arise because the coffee always remains in the chamber during grinding. First, acquiring an even consistent particle size is virtually impossible because the coffee cannot escape the blade and is so constantly being ground finer. Shaking the grinder up and down while grinding will assist in the creation of a more even particle size. 2nd, the beans are subject to degradation thanks to the heat build up the chamber. Try hard not to run the grinder for at least 10 second bursts.

Burr grinders : These are often bigger and costlier than blade grinders. Like spice mills, they wor by passing the coffee through 2 metal burrs that are a set distance apart.The space between the two burrs determines the particular size. Once the coffee is ground, it falls into a fresh container, forestalling the Problems associated with blade grinders.

The acceptable grind size will depend upon the method used for brewing. Usually, shorter extraction ( brewing ) times will require a smaller particle size. Don't be afraid to experiment. You can discover that rather smaller or a touch larger than you used to may work better for you and your brew method.
