EXCLUSIVE COFFEE: Ground or whole beans?
Which coffee is better to buy - ground coffee or beans?
Most people prefer to buy coffee that is already ground. this is the easiest way out. It does not take time to grind and clean the machine, and, in fact, the machine itself. And although the disputes between those who buy coffee beans and ground coffee will never end, an acceptable middle ground can be found.
The taste and aroma are contained in the coffee oils, which are released during grinding. Grinding coffee properly is not an easy task. You can sometimes watch a professional barista "play" while adjusting the chopper. You have to change the setting 3-4 times during the day.
It depends on the:
- grain sizes
- coffee varieties (soft Brazilian or Colombian varieties, hard Central American, Arabica or Robusta)
- degree of cleaning and roasting
- brewing method or type of coffee machine
METHODS OF GRINDING COFFEE BEANS
A manual coffee grinder provides a medium grind, often uneven, without the possibility of adjustment.
A mechanical coffee grinder will give you a quality controlled grind. The better the manufacturer, the more pleasant it is to work with it.
The chopper or food processor will produce a coarse to medium particle size depending on the attachments.
It is best to match the grinding degree of the coffee to the specific method of preparation.
HOW TO BREW GROUND COFFEE DEPENDING ON THE DEGREE OF GRINDING
The French press effectively brews a coarse grind. A drip coffee maker is also acceptable.
The coffee machine accepts medium grind better, as does a carob or mocha coffee machine.
Fine (fine) grinding complicates filtration. A Turk or brew through a pour-over is ideal.
The extra fine grind for espresso is made for a special coffee machine that works with hot steam.
Powdered grinding is a tradition for Turkish coffee, which is prepared, of course, in a Turk.
