What is my GRIND SIZE?

WHY DOES COFFEE GRIND SIZE MATTER?

Three main elements of coffee grind impact your coffee flavor: extraction rate, contact time, and flow rate.

• Extraction rate of coffee grounds increases with more surface area.
• Increase surface area by grinding coffee finer.
• With a higher extraction rate, less contact time is required.
• Finer grind reduces the flow rate of water, which increases contact time.

Let’s make this easy without too much hassle …
