A good grind is the first step to an exceptional brew. This guide will show you the different types of coarseness of coffee grounds and how to achieve a consistent grind each time.

Grinder Step1
Coarse ground coffee

A coarse grind resembles coarse sea salt in consistency. With a larger surface area, it’s ideal for any immersion brew—be it coffee press, coffee press cold brew or Mason jar cold brew.

Grinder Step2
Medium ground coffee

A medium grind resembles sea salt in consistency. This grind ensures the perfect extraction of flavour from the beans—ideal for brewing with a Chemex, coffee machine or Moka pot.

Grinder Step4
Fine ground coffee

A fine grind resembles granulated sugar in consistency. In pour over recipes—where grind size is everything—try not to grind too coarsely or finely as this affects the taste of your cup.

The Differences Between Burr vs. Blade Grinders

THE GRINDERS
Burr grinders use a revolving wheel to grind a few beans at a time, while blade grinders feature a single blade that chops up all the coffee beans into progressively smaller pieces.
