What grind size is best for espresso?
The consensus among coffee connoisseurs is that a fine grind creates the best espresso. Learning how to grind coffee beans properly will help you achieve the perfect, fine grind. These coffee grinds have the texture of flour or powdered sugar. Generally, brew methods with shorter water contact times, like espresso or aeropress, require a finer grind size. Longer, slower brew methods, like french press, work best with a coarser grind.
What is a Kalita Wave 185?
The Wave Series from Kalita is the premier coffee dripper available on the market. The flat-bottom coffee bed geometry, patented ‘Wave’ filter, and three-hole design work together to provide an even extraction that makes brewing a perfect cup accessible and easy. The Hario V60 has a larger hole that coffee pours through in a single drop, while the Kalita has a sealed bottom with three small holes. The flat, holed bottom of the Kalita allows for more uneven pours and less attention to detail.
