Foretold Coffee Co. is passionate about delivering the freshest and most flavorful coffee to our customers. We understand that the journey to the perfect cup begins with choosing the right grinder and grind size. That's why we offer a range of options, from whole bean to fine grind, to suit every brewing method and preference.
Whole Bean Coffee: When it comes to freshness and flavor, nothing beats whole bean coffee. By grinding your beans just before brewing, you unlock the full potential of each cup. What this means is eventually you'll need to invest in a grinder to experience coffee at its best. Here some things to consider:
Choosing the Right Grind for Your Brewer:Â
Selecting the appropriate grind size for your brewing equipment is crucial. But it's not just about the size; the type of grinder you use also impacts the quality of your coffee.
Burr Grinders:Â Burr grinders crush coffee beans between two abrasive surfaces, resulting in a consistent and uniform grind size. This consistency ensures even extraction and enhances the flavor profile of your coffee. It's the preferred choice for coffee enthusiasts who value precision and control over their grind.
Blade Grinders:Â Blade grinders, on the other hand, use spinning blades to chop coffee beans into smaller particles. While blade grinders are more affordable and accessible, they often produce uneven grind sizes, leading to inconsistent extraction and a less nuanced flavor profile.
When choosing between burr and blade grinders, consider your priorities: Are you seeking precision and consistency, or is convenience more important? Investing in a burr grinder may require a higher upfront cost, but the superior results are worth it for those serious about their coffee experience.
Hand Crank Grinders: For those who appreciate the simplicity and hands-on approach to coffee brewing, a hand crank grinder is a perfect companion for your outdoor adventures.
Just as you relish the freedom of exploring off the beaten path, hand crank grinders offer the flexibility to grind your beans anywhere, without the need for electricity. With each turn of the handle, you have full control over the grind size, ensuring consistency and freshness in every cup. Compact and portable, these grinders are an essential tool for campers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a delicious brew on the go. Whether you're scaling mountain peaks or lounging by the lakeside, a hand crank grinder allows you to enjoy the ritual of coffee preparation amidst nature's beauty.
GRIND SIZES:
Coarse Grind: For brewing methods like French press, cold brew, and percolators, a coarse grind is key. Think of it like breadcrumbs or coarse sea salt. Coarse grinds allow for longer extraction times without compromising flavor.
Medium Grind: A medium grind, resembling sand or granulated sugar, is versatile and well-suited for drip coffee makers, pour-over, and AeroPress. It offers a balanced extraction, perfect for those seeking a classic coffee experience.
Fine Grind: When it comes to espresso machines, Moka pots, or AeroPress with shorter extraction times, a fine grind is essential. Similar to table salt or finer, fine grinds yield a stronger and more intense flavor profile, making each sip unforgettable.
Note that these rules are guideline not 'coffee-laws,' don't be afraid to play with different grind sizes and brewing methods. Some of the best coffees recipes were discovered by accident due to a mistake in grind size, water temperature, filters etc. As much as some might want a linear coffee experience, it can never hurt to go off the beaten path and try something new.
