This type of brewer uses gravity to push water through ground coffee by plunging down on top of it. You don't want these things to happen because they are messy and bad tasting, so be sure to use a fine enough grind size If the grind is too coarse, it will clog up the filtration system and cause overflow or slow drainage through your grounds. The siphon requires a slightly finer grind size than most other methods because you can't control when the coffee completely dries out in the wells of the filter chamber. If your coffee grounds are too coarse, they will leak out of the brewer and you will get coffee grinds in your cup.įor this brew method, the coffee is brewed using two separate chambers that are then combined to form one beverage. The grind level should be similar to that of a paper filter, but it's okay if the coffee is ground slightly finer because nel drip brewers have a fine cloth filter. A medium or coarse grind would be good for a paper filter. Furthermore, some paper filter makers recommend a slightly coarser grind to achieve better saturation. The powder/sand consistency of an espresso grind is not necessary with a paper filter. A proper espresso grind size should look like powder or sandĪs long as your coffee is ground fine enough to filter through a paper filter without clogging it, this grind level will work fine. A fine grind will clog excessive amounts of water at once and lead to over extraction. Moreover, the machine used to brew espresso must use high pressure to push water through the ground coffee. If the grind is too coarse, the coffee will be under extracted and have sour flavors, if it is too fine it can be over extracted resulting in bitter tasting coffee. Espresso requires a fine grind, because water needs to pass through the coffee quickly for full brew extraction.
