Coffee Tip of the Day

Perfecting your coffee grind is essential for a great brew.

The grind size is crucial because it directly affects the extraction process; too fine and you might end up with a bitter over-extracted brew, too coarse and you'll get a weak, under-extracted cup.

For a French press, go for a coarse grind like sea salt. If you're into pour-over, aim for a medium grind that feels like beach sand. Espresso lovers should look for a fine grind that's a bit like powdered sugar but with just a bit more grit.

One more thing—make sure those burrs or blades on your grinder are sharp and clean. Dull grinders are the nemeses of good coffee—they can produce inconsistent grind sizes and even burn the beans. Keep it sharp, keep it clean, and get ready to unlock the full potential of your coffee with every grind.
