Adjusting coffee grind size subtly alters water flow and extraction, influencing body and mouthfeel. Finer grinds can increase perceived richness, while coarser grinds may lead to a lighter, cleaner cup.
Match your grind size to your brewing method for optimal coffee extraction and flavor.

Grind size dictates extraction rate, influencing the balance of dissolved compounds and ultimately, the taste profile of your coffee.
For the home brewer, the quest for the perfect cup often involves a delicate dance of variables. Water temperature, brew time, and water-to-coffee ratio are familiar partners in this dance.
