The Daily Grind…

This expression a different meaning to us at the Front Porch Café!

We grind a lot of coffee each day. For brewed coffee, for espresso drinks, for customers, pounds of it, every day.

So let us help you understand the importance of the proper grind.

Previously, we wrote about the perfect cup of coffee and how the proper grind is essential to one.

The grind all depends on the method of coffee brewing.

An automatic drip coffee maker needs a grind that would be finer than that for an electric percolator. Do you use a French press? Then you need coarse ground beans. 

Fresh ground coffee is the best but not always practical (waking babies comes to mind!).

The best grinders are burr grinders. They are adjustable and much more accurate in getting the correct grind.

The press top grinders really should be left to chopping herbs and nuts.

Whether you grind at home or have us grind the coffee for you always make sure it’s the right grind for your coffee pot.
