Grinding Fineness

•
Coffee loses its aroma quickly after grinding. To get the best
out of the coffee beans, we recommend that you grind them
just before brewing - preferably by hand. The advantage of
manual coffee mills is that the grinding fi neness can usually be
adjusted infi nitely and therefore more precisely. In addition,
the coffee mills can be cleaned more easily, making it possible
to switch between different types of coffee.
•
The grinding fi neness is one of the decisive factors. If it is
too fi ne, the coffee is over-extracted and becomes bitter. In
addition, the coffee powder is compressed so much that it
is very diffi cult to push down the plunger.
With the Coffee Press method, a medium to coarse grind-
ing fi neness is recommended. The grain size of grit can act
as a guide. If you want to be on the safe side, let a barista
that you trust grind a small portion of the beans and use
this as a comparison when grinding at home.
Dosing
•
To obtain a successful result, you should keep a very close
eye on the ratio of coffee powder to water. If the water
content predominates, the coffee loses its taste. If you use
too much coffee powder, the coffee becomes too strong.
We recommend that you start off with 20 g of coffee for
your coffee maker jug (350 ml).
Of course, tastes vary from person to person, so you need
to get to know your own ideal ratio.
