At ehya café, when placing your order, you can choose your mix and grind in a personalized way. Here is a brief description that will help you decide better. How to choose the right grind according to your coffee maker or extraction method?
Let's start by understanding what is the degree of grinding?
The degree of grinding has to do with the thickness of our ground coffee, determined by the grinding point that was chosen in our mill, which is determined by the type of coffee maker that is going to be used to prepare coffee. That is to say, it is not the same grind used in an American coffee pot as for a French press.
There are many variables that will affect the flavor of your coffee, such as brew time which is determined by the thickness of the coffee particles. For example, if we take a glass with sand and pour water into it, the time in which the water passes through it will be greater, if we fill it with small stones, that is what is called extraction time and it will greatly affect the preparation of your coffee.
Recommended grinds for each method:
Extra fine grinding, it is the finest degree of our mill and corresponds to the preparation of Turkish coffee. For which, I recommend high and Italian roasts, decaf
Fine grinding: For espresso or professional coffee machines, which brew coffee in seconds using infusion methods such as espresso, Italian mocha and aeropress. For this preparation we recommend ehya coffee: medium, house blend, Italian, decaffeinated
Medium grind: For infusion and drip methods, such as American coffee machines, in which the extraction time can last a few minutes. All our presentations can be used here.
Regular grinding: It is a coarser grade of medium grind, which is recommended for extraction methods such as chemex, v60, Japanese siphon, and percolator. The recommended coffee presentations are: light and medium.
