Correct Coffee Grind
-
For best results, the coffee must be a medium grind. The correct medium grind should
be look and feel gritty, like sand or salt.
-
If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee, even under pressure.
Fine grind looks and feels like flour.
-
If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through too quickly and the coffee will not
develop its full flavor.
