Coffee grounds texture??

Question

My guy and I just got a new coffee grinder to go with our coffee maker. It has 3 settings to choose from: percolator, drip and espresso. Could anyone tell us the differences in these settings? Would one of these grind finer than another and how would it affect the resulting brew?

Answer 1

Just the way you listed them is the grind size, perk is course for the repeated drenching of the water, drip is medium grind for single past through, exspresso if fine grind for a more surface to water ratio to produce a stronger flavor

Answer 2

the grind you choose depends on the kind of machine you have or how you make the coffee.

A percolator is a coffee maker that has water shoot up and over the grinds many times and it drips thru. This is a larger grind.

Drip is when the water is poured in from the top and drips thru a basket into the pot. This is an average or meduim grind.

and espersso is hot water forced thru the finely ground beans into a small cup. Very strong.

But wouldnt the new coffee grinder come with new directions on how to use it? Check the box...

Answer 3

i think that percolator is the coarsest grind, drip is a medium grind, and espresso is a fine grind. you would probably also use the percolator setting to grind coffee for a french press. while you might be able to tell the difference if you are a coffee connoisseur, i don't think that the grind matters too much. i buy my coffee ground and use it for both a french press and a drip and there's no problem. still, since you have the different settings, you might as well use them.

Percolator is the consistensy of the old coffe makers that have the glass bubble on the top. Most folks don't use that anymore. Drip is like your regular coffee makers used today. Thats your everyday coffee. Espresso is more finely ground and will be stronger in taste.

Answer 5

those settings are for the type of coffee maker you have. percolator is the old-fashioned type, a coffee pot that brews the coffee inside it. drip is what most people have, a regular Mr. Coffee or whatever. the grounds go in the top, the water "drips" down (get it?) and viola, coffee right in the carafe. Espresso is just that, espresso. it requires an espresso maker, and uses very finely ground beans.

Answer 6

"Percolator" is large grounds (heavy enough to stay in the bottom when you pour the coffee). "Drip" is mid-sized, like what you'd get from Maxwell House. "Espresso" is fine ground, like Gevalia. I think the finer ground coffee is more flavorful, just be sure not to let the water overflow the filter, or you'll have grounds in your cup.

Answer 7

And the finer the grind the stronger your coffee will be. So you definitly wouldn't want to use espresso grind for drip coffee. MMMM I can smell it now. I must go make a pot of coffee. Thanks.

Answer 8

They get finer from perc to drip to espresso. Thefiner the grind the more surface area to quickly release flavor.

Black stool may well be led to by quite a few drugs -- between the main worry-unfastened is pepto bismol (pink bismuth). The espresso grounds stool isn't so spectacular. in the present day's Sunday . . . i pass to declare that once you're surely having espresso floor black stool you will possibly desire to pass to the emergency room -- now. that is indicative of a few diverse matters -- which, left-untreated, are probably deadly.
