What is the best grind size for my K cup?
Grind Matters: Use a medium grind for optimal brewing results. Avoid using very fine coffee grounds, as they can clog the filter. A grind that is too fine will lead to over-extraction, resulting in a bitter, muddy cup. Conversely, a too coarse grind will make the water saturated before the grounds extract adequately, leading to a sour, weak, under-extracted brew.For instance, you can ruin a beautifully sweet specialty coffee by grinding too fine and ending up with a disappointing bitter shot of espresso.

This can mean bitter, ashy flavors in the cup and a muddy mouthfeel.Basically, the finer the grind, the shorter the contact time with the water. The grind and the contact time with the water therefore influence each other. If the grind is too fine, the coffee quickly becomes bitter and strong. If the grind is too coarse, the coffee tastes rather sour and watery.Yes, espresso requires a fine grind to ensure proper extraction and the characteristic strong flavor and crema.
