The oils, aromas and gases that give coffee its flavor are inside the roasted coffee bean and emerge with the right grinding. Oxygen, humidity and carbon dioxide are factors that directly affect coffee. Grinding fineness also varies according to the brewing method.
Grinding shapes according to the coffee brewing technique are given in the table..
Brewing Technique | Grinding Size |
Turkish Coffee | Extra fine like flour |
Espresso | Like fine salt |
AeroPress | Medium-fine, like table salt |
Moka Pot | Medium-fine, like table salt |
Chemex | Medium, like sand |
French Press | coarse, like sea salt |
Cold Brew | Extra coarse, such as ground black pepper |

As can be seen in the table, each brew has its own grinding method. Correctly ground coffee means reaching the right coffee.
