Coffee beans vs ground coffee

The advantages of buying coffee beans, and grinding it just before putting it in the coffee maker are many. If you notice, the most select coffee shops only consume coffee beans and have their own professional grinder that they use just before use.

They do this because ground coffee breaks down very easily; it loses many of its organoleptic properties in a very few minutes after being ground; This is produced by increased oxidation on contact with air, which results in a loss of intensity in the smell and taste.

And don't kid yourself; no matter how you save it; from the moment the coffee is ground, there is no going back. It starts to degrade even before you buy it from the supermarket.

However, coffee beans, if you store it in a cool, dry place, and as airtight as possible, it will remain in perfect condition for weeks until it is consumed.

How to grind coffee beans

The secret to grinding coffee beans and getting the perfect coffee out is not overdoing it.

Depending on the type of coffee maker we use, we will prefer a more or less granulated coffee. For example, for a piston or French coffee maker, the grind has to be less than for espresso machines.

In all cases, our Thermomix can help us.

The first thing is to calculate the amount of coffee to grind; It depends on how strong we like the coffee, but 15-20 grams per cup should be enough.

Once weighed, we put it directly into the glass, always very dry and clean. Program a minute at speed 5-10.

After that minute, check the texture; If you see that it is still too grainy, program a maximum of 30 seconds at speed 10.

As you can see, time is no longer an excuse for not enjoying a good freshly ground coffee. Our recommendation is that you do several tests until you find the grinding point that best suits your taste with your coffee maker.
