5 WAYS TO GRIND COFFEE BEANS YOURSELF
1. Mortar and Pestle
A mortar and pestle is a traditional method for grinding coffee beans. With some elbow grease, you’ll end up with a fine powder of coffee grounds.
2. Blender
A simple home blender is one of the easiest ways to get coarse coffee grounds quickly. However, be careful when using a blender as the built-up heat of the machine could destroy the flavor of your coffee beans.
3. Hand Coffee Grinder
Also known as manual coffee grinders. Easy to use, you can measure how many coffee beans you want to make the perfect cup of fresh coffee.
4. Blade Coffee Grinder
A Blade Coffee Grinder Machine is often compact, which is good for those with cramped kitchens. A Blade Coffee Grinder Machine pulverizes the fresh coffee beans into coffee grounds.
5. Burr Coffee Grinder
A Burr Coffee Grinder Machine is the very best coffee machine on the market. It produces some of the best coffee every single time, regardless of the type of coffee machine you use.
Understanding The Different Types of Coffee Grounds
Coarse Coffee Ground
This type of grind leaves the largest granules of coffee. It’s preferred for French Presses (a.k.a. plungers) or the percolator method of brewing.
Medium Coffee Ground
Medium grinds have a consistency of granulated sugar. This grind is primarily recommended for vacuum and certain types of drip coffee makers. Because of its versatile size, it can also be used for other brewing methods, but not espresso.
Fine Coarse Coffee Ground
Also known as an espresso grind, it has a powdery/mealy consistency used in espresso makers and Neapolitan flip-drips, though electric drip and filter brews can use it as well.
Pulverized Coarse Coffee Ground
Also known as Turkish Coffee – like fine flour, this extremely fine grind usually needs to be ground in a special grinder.
