The importance of properly setting your coffee machine’s grinder<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"setting<\/p>\n

Adjusting your <\/span>coffee machine<\/b> will allow you to select the fineness of the <\/span>grind<\/b>. This<\/span> grind size<\/b> will impact the richness of your coffee’s body, as well as its <\/span>intensity <\/b>and <\/span>bitterness<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, adjusting the grinder allows you to further customise your cup, to achieve the <\/span>coffee <\/b>that suits your taste. You will, of course, need to test these settings, depending on your palate and the coffee which is used.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\r\n

A fine coffee grind <\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"fine<\/p>\n

The finer your grind, the greater the surface area in contact with water, enhancing the extraction of <\/span>flavours<\/b>. Consequently, the <\/span>bitterness<\/b> of your coffee<\/b> will be more pronounced, and its intensity will be greater. Additionally, the coffee will flow more slowly through the filter.<\/span><\/p>\n

You will achieve a finer grind as you adjust towards the lower settings on your grinder.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t \t\t\t

A coarser coffee grind<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"coarse<\/p>\n

Conversely, if you adjust your <\/span>grinder <\/b>to a <\/span>coarser <\/b>setting, water will pass through the coffee puck much faster. The resulting brew will be lighter and more acidic in flavour.<\/span><\/p>\n

To achieve a coarse grind, you should adjust the dial towards the higher numbers on your grinder.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n
