Learn the 5 rules for grinding your own coffee beans for the perfect cup, no matter what coffee brewing method you choose. Get more here: www.roastycoff...
Thank you for saying that you can experiment with any grind method for any brewing method. I think so many people get caught up with doing things "the way you're supposed to" and forget it is about making something that you enjoy. The best cup of coffee is the coffee that YOU like, the way that YOU like it.
This is a good explanation about what settings to use for what brew. Burr grinders are definitely the best as the grind consistency is much better and also because the burrs don't heat up the coffee making it bitter. I've just uploaded my own video which actually shows you how to dismantle and change the settings of a burr grinder.
Nice video! It would have been helpful if you had said what kind of coffee flavor comes from ground coffee. (eg: does coarse coffee give a stronger flavor/taste?)
So I was searching for info on grinding coffee beans and a video came up with a pic and I said to myself, “that looks like the pool guy!” Of course I had to watch and then when you said you were Matt I was like mind blown. lol. Thanks.
I've been using the blade grinder for years for my espresso and its fine with me. When I use the grinder, I grind the beans for 10-15 sec. stop for sec. and grind again for 15 sec until the beans are perfectly ground for my espresso. I do that so I don't over heat the coffee beans.
just got my blade grinder today because i wasn't about to shell out 100+ on my coffee grinder. Im using the Krupp one recommended by america's test kitchen, hope it goes well!
Thank you so much for a great job. Watch a few, they either drove me crazy the way they acted or just didn’t explain it well. Thank you for showing the grind size. Lind
Thanks, cool and informative! I have the Wilfa Svart Nymalt grinder, but sadly it doesn't say anything about fine medium or coars, just differet brewing methods, so Filter is coarse, Aeropress is kinda medium and Mocca is really fine, and a bunch of others. So I kinda have to experiment anyways then. Anyway . cool video
Landrew0 Yeah, I wouldn't say this is a very good reason for not using a blade grinder. a better reason for not using a blade grinder is because it's inconsistent grind. using an inconsistent grind in a pour over will cause an uneven extraction.
Well yeah, friction == heat you can blend tomatos and heat it to start steaming in a powerful enough blender. You can also vacuum pack coffee beans that are fresh, freeze them fast and use them weeks later, retaining freshness and they get a little easier to grind which should somewhat mitigate heat from a grinder?
He knows what he's talking about because he's Italian... I know squat because I'm Australian.. I don't even know how much to grind for 1 cup of coffee ?
isn't chemex a pour over? I got confused when you said chemex pour over was good for one grind setting, then a couple settings later you said another was great for pour over. help me out!
where can I find the measurements? also, what about different sized mugs? I use large mugs so I always end up drinking my coffee a little watery which is not what I want
I love my French press. Coffee from coffee makers friggin suck. But why do I have tiny grinds in the bottom of my cup. It makes me cough when I take the last couple gulps lolol.
I'm sorry to be so blunt, but this told me absolutely DICK. I'm just getting into grinding my own beans (my grinder still hasn't been shipped yet and is supposed to get here on Thursday). I expected something informative from a "How-To" video, but all I get is guidelines.
TheDano1947 No...dude... Just no. The grind size depends on how long your beans stay in contact with water, for example, in French press, beans stay in direct contact with water for arround 4-5 mins, so coarse beans are good, with pour-over water is flowing and never being on contact with beans for more than 10-20 sec, so medium would work with expresso then entire shot is ready in like 30 sec so having fine grind is nessary... Using find grind for for French press would result in over extraction, where coffee becomes extremely bitter losing all it's flavour to bitterness....some people may like that, but I don't like over extracted coffee when I drink black which is usually always, i coffee is over extract I can be used with milk and sugar...which really isn't coffee anymore it's a desert.
Needed this video cause I'm always on the grind
Yeah he did. Get a burr grinder

Yea I’ve always found ppl who drink something they don’t like because it’s “proper” very silly.
❤❤
Accidentally bought whole bean today and I'm gonna have to use my manual grinder for a while now. -___- Alas, this video helped. Thanks.
Same!
That why I am here because I purchase whole beans instead of grinded coffee.
All I wanted was to know how to grind and you didn’t even touch on it. Ugh!
Exactly what the fuck
always grind your own beans.....yeah! I just did and it makes a huge difference!! Thanks

Lol.. same thing happened to me!

"They call me Mr Coffee cuz I'm such a fine grind....."

Thank you so much for a great job. Watch a few, they either drove me crazy the way they acted or just didn’t explain it well. Thank you for showing the grind size. Lind

"Blade grinders can heat up the coffee and roast it a little more."
Um, OK.
Landrew0 Yeah, I wouldn't say this is a very good reason for not using a blade grinder. a better reason for not using a blade grinder is because it's inconsistent grind. using an inconsistent grind in a pour over will cause an uneven extraction.
Using a blade makes it chopping not grinding.
It wouldn’t roast them but the blades could heat up due to friction
Well yeah, friction == heat you can blend tomatos and heat it to start steaming in a powerful enough blender.
You can also vacuum pack coffee beans that are fresh, freeze them fast and use them weeks later, retaining freshness and they get a little easier to grind which should somewhat mitigate heat from a grinder?

What you are using is a steel blade grinder. Burr grinder is ceramic! This is wrong.
cool hi from minnesota
The finer the grind the richer the coffee.
