How Much Does Grind Matter?

Grind matters a lot. The proper grind allows you to maximize your yield, or cups per pound, from your coffee.

We personally prefer brewing methods that allow for a finer grind and thus more flavor and cups per pound. Some examples of this are AeroPress, espresso machines, or one of our favorites: a pour-over with the Melitta cone filter. This brewing method will yield 80 cups to the pound!
 
Our in-house grinders are precision Swiss-made grinders with burrs made of hardened steel. They allow the best grind possible.
 
For home grinding, the key is a grinder with precision capabilities to get the proper fine grind for your brewer. If your grind is too coarse, you lose a lot of flavor, so you’ll have to compensate by using more coffee to get the right strength.
 
We have experimented and taste tested different grinds with many coffee systems to determine the optimal grind for each. Whether you prefer to grind your own coffee by the cup or have us prepare it for you, we’re happy to share our expertise and help you fine tune your process to get a consistently awesome cup of coffee!
