The proper grind gives the most avorful cup of coffee. The grind depends on the
method by which the coffee is to be brewed. Generally, the ner the grind the more
quickly the coffee should be prepared. That is why coffee ground for use in an espresso
machine is much ner than coffee to be brewed in a drip system.
Coffee that is ground too ne for a particular brewing process (ne espresso grind used
in an automatic drip coffee machine) will result in over-extraction and bitter, pungent
tasting coffee. Conversely, coffee that is too coarse for a particular brew method will
result in under-extraction and weak, watery coffee. If the correct grind is used, adding
more coffee simply makes a brew stronger without making it bitter.
In addition to providing a number of grind settings, coffee grinders provide a consistent
grind. This is important to ensure the extraction is consistent across all of the ground
coffee particles.
