Instructions
1 Choose a grinder. You should look for the best quality grinder you can buy. It is better to buy a grinder rather than a blade grinder, as the former makes the grounds very well and leaves less dust, which can clog coffee makers.
2 Decide on the granule size you need. Fine granules will produce stronger coffee, but excessively fine grinds can make coffee bitter. Larger granules are suitable for weaker coffee.
3 Adjust the dial on the mill according to the size of the granules you need. It may have a calibrated dial or lever.
4 Turn the mill for a few minutes and check off the grains. Time is of the essence when coffee beans are ground; the longer it is ground, the finer the granulate will be.
5 Check that the granules are uniform in size and thickness. An uneven routine can ruin the taste of your coffee.
6 Remove granules and dust that may clog your coffee maker
Tips and Warnings
- Avoid grinding the coffee at too hot a temperature, which can destroy the taste of the coffee.
- Don't use a blade grinder unless you need coffee that has coarse granules, which can be used for some coffee makers, but which can ruin your espresso machine.
