Every coffee lover will be happy to prepare a delicious drink from freshly ground beans. In addition to initial conditions, such as country of origin or altitude, the taste of coffee is affected by several factors. A very important factor is whether it is freshly ground , so it is best to grind it just before the preparation itself and get the best out of the taste. If you are a real connoisseur, you would never buy pre-ground coffee. This is already weathered and, in addition, may not suit the degree of grinding required for a specific coffee preparation.
The coffee grinder must be set correctly to grind the coffee to the correct roughness. There is a difference between the types of grinders. Chisels and grinders with grinding stones are used. If you want to achieve several slightly different degrees of grinding, be sure to use a grinder with grinding stones. From the chisel, the coffee will never be ground as finely as in a hand grinder and the roughness will not be even.
What coffee grinder to use?
-
Use a hand or electric grinder with grinding stones
-
The chisels never make coffee evenly
-
Even though buying ground coffee is not an ideal option, it is still better than using a chopper
Each method of coffee preparation requires a different type of grinding. The shorter the leaching time, the finer the grinding.
And what are the coarseness of grinding coffee for a specific preparation?
1) Very fine grinding of coffee
is recommended for making Turkish coffee in a jar . The consistency is similar to plain flour or powder.

2) Fine grinding of coffee
is suitable for preparing espresso or aeropress (with a preparation time of 1-2 min). Roughness is like a little finer table salt. If you buy already ground coffee, it will probably be ground like this.
3) Medium-fine grinding of coffee
is probably the most common. It is used for preparation in drip or aeropress (with a preparation time of 2-3 min). It is a little finer than sand, but not as fine as finely ground.

Drip
-
Aeropress (preparation time 2-3 min)
4) Medium coffee grinding
is the golden mean between fine and coarse grinding. It is also used for drip , in preparation in vakuum potu or aeropress (3+ minutes). The consistency is like sand.

Vacuum pot
-
Aeropress (preparation time 3+ more minutes)
-
Drip
5) Medium coarse coffee grinding
Suitable for mocha teapot , Chemex or Clever dripper . The roughness is like coarse sand (a little coarser than medium grinding).

Moka teapot

Chemex
-
Clever dripper
6) Coarse grinding of coffee
is recommended for french press . Coffee ground in this way looks like sea salt. For preparation in Frenchpress, it is better to have coarsely ground coffee - the beans will not penetrate through the sieve into the drink and the sediment will remain at the bottom.
TIP: Definitely don't be afraid to experiment! It pays to grind fresh coffee and in time you will get a slight distinction of individual roughnesses in the eye.
