Is it worth it to buy an expensive coffee grinder?
Precision and consistency expensive coffee grinders often boast advanced technologies and precision engineering designed to achieve consistent grind sizes. They offer a range of grind settings that cater to various brewing methods, from espresso to french press. Fine, medium-fine, medium, medium-coarse, and coarse are often used as starting points that give a broad frame of reference. 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.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.
