 HOW TO USE A GRINDER

Coffee grinding and its great importance

The process of grinding coffee beans consists of reducing the size of the coffee beans to increase the surface area that will be in contact with the water.

Grinding coffee beans correctly is essential to achieve ideal coffee, with great aroma and body. If the grind is very fine, we will have a bitter coffee, but if it is very coarse, we will have a watery drink with a very mild flavor. So then, a medium ground coffee will be the ideal to prepare our favorite drinks.

To ensure that the coffee beans are grinded properly, you can do it at home using a grinder. Thus, you can adjust it to your preferences and tastes, in addition to preserving all the natural properties of coffee.

How a grinder works

There are several types of grinder depending on their characteristics: manual, automatic, with blades, with grinding wheels, etc. Each one adapts to different types of coffee makers and drinks that we want to obtain. Today, we are going to talk about the automatic or electric grinder.

Using an automatic grinder is very simple:

1. First we must place the coffee beans in the container at the top.
2. Then, we must select the number of cups you want to prepare, which can range from a minimum of one to a maximum of twelve.
3. To start the grinder, you simply have to press the upper part until the light of the type of grind you want (fine - medium - coarse) comes on.
4. Ready! You can now use your freshly ground coffee in your coffee maker.

A few last tips

Heat is released during grinding, so natural coffee should be used. This type of coffee does not have any additives added during the roasting process. In no case will we use roasted coffee, since sugar has been added to it. With the heat it melts and can spoil our grinder.

Preserving coffee is very important to preserve the aroma of coffee and slow down its oxidation. The best way to store it is in grains, since many properties are lost during grinding. Still, we know that it is very convenient to grind a large amount of coffee to have it ready, so making a coffee will be faster. In the latter case, we recommend storing it in a hermetically sealed metal or glass container.
