Percolator/ French Press Coffee
If you plan on brewing your coffee with a percolator or a French Press coffee maker then you’ll need a coarser grind. Simply tap the grind button a couple of times,.
The aim is that the beans should be broken up into tiny pieces. If the grinds look like a powder then you have over indulged in the grinding, time to statt again. Just give the button a short tap do not keep it pressed down.
Automatic drip coffee makers
Automatic drip coffee makers work best with medium grinds. Picture in your mind (or look at if you have some in your cupboard) the coffee grinds that you would buy from the supermarket. Medium grinds are best in this situation. The ground coffee should have the texture and look of brown sand. Try and grind the coffee beans until it looks like brown sand. In this situation ensure that you do not get carried away and over grind the coffee beans. You do not want a fine powder if you’re going to use an automatic coffee maker.
Espresso maker
Finally if your using an espresso maker, you want those fine powdery grinds that you’ve been trying to avoid when making coarse and medium grinds. Grind away at the coffee beans untill is very finely ground. One of the best espresso coffee makers that we recommend is the Delonghi EC710
