Grind and brew guide
Match the grind to the way you brew. Too fine and the coffee tastes bitter and drains slowly; too coarse and it tastes thin and sour.
| Brew method | Grind | Looks like | Recipe to start |
|---|---|---|---|
| Espresso | Espresso | Fine flour | 18 g in, 36 g out, 25–30 s |
| Pour-over, batch brew | Filter | Table salt | 15 g to 250 g water, 3 min |
| French press | Cafetière | Coarse sea salt | 60 g per litre, 4 min |
