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 coffee beans should now have been broken up into smal pieces. If the ground coffee looks like powder then you have overdone it, get a new batch and start again. Remember to tap the button and not hold it 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 grinds look like brown sand. So remember the last time you went to the beach but instead of seeing the sand in between your toes, imagine seeing sand in your coffee maker. In this situation ensure that you do not get carried away and over grind the coffee beans. For an automatic coffee maker the coffee must not be ground to fine.
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 until you are happy, the finer the ground coffee the better. One of the best espresso coffee makers that we recommend is the Delonghi EC710
