The role of grinding in coffee flavor

Coffee grinding is a crucial process that involves transforming coffee beans into smaller particles. This process has a direct impact on the final product, as it determines the extraction time, the intensity of the flavor and even the texture of the coffee. A uniform grind is vital to ensure consistent extraction, resulting in a balanced drink without unpleasant flavors.

Understanding coffee grinding

Grinding is the process of turning roasted beans into powder. And the SIATEC Brasil grinder plays a fundamental role in this process. Equipped with advanced technology, it guarantees consistent and uniform grinding, adjusting the particle size according to the customer's needs. This ensures that each batch of coffee is ground precisely and evenly. When coffee beans are ground, more surface area is exposed, allowing water to penetrate and extract the desired flavors and compounds. In addition to flavor, grinding can also influence the texture of the coffee.

How do different grind sizes affect coffee extraction and flavor?

The grind size is a crucial part of the coffee preparation process, making it possible to perform different types of grinding and adjust the grain size to produce ground coffee beans of different sizes, from very fine to coarse. Water passes through the powder more or less quickly depending on how fine or coarse the grind is, affecting preparation time and extraction efficiency. Fine grind (like flour): This type of grind is generally used to prepare espresso coffee. The resulting coffee is generally strong and rich in flavor. If the grind is too fine, the coffee may be bitter. Medium grind (like sand): The resulting coffee is well balanced in terms of acidity, bitterness and sweetness. Coarse grind (like rock salt): This type is generally used for brewing methods like the French press. The resulting coffee may be smoother and have a fuller flavor. If the grind is too coarse, the coffee may be watery.
