Natural ground coffee

For the first time, natural ground coffee, which was packed in tins, was released in 1878 in America. And about 3 decades later, Hill Braders patented this type of coffee in vacuum packaging.

Currently, more than several thousand varieties of coffee are entering the market. Lovers of natural coffee can be divided into 2 categories: those who purchase coffee in a ground form, and those who prefer fried beans. The ground product is significantly cheaper compared to beans and can be a mixture of coffee from different countries.

Depending on some factors, natural ground coffee can be classified into: a product with caffeine or without, flavored or without the addition of flavors. Interestingly, some varieties are flavored "on their own. " Take, for example, a variety of coffee called Blue Mountain - it can "boast" of its unique taste due to the fact that it is transported in rum barrels.

Preparing natural ground coffee requires certain costs, unlike soluble coffee, for which you only need to have boiling water, a cup and a spoon at hand. Coffeemans know that they brew this aromatic drink in a jezwa (Turk) or coffee maker. It remains only to find out which coffee grinding is ideal for your coffee maker, since based on the degree of grinding, the brewing method is also selected. There is even a certain rule: the smaller the cycle of making the drink, the thinner the coffee grinding. Undoubtedly, coffee can also be used in beans, only before cooking they need to be ground.

So, there are 3 main types of coffee grinding and 3 additional ones. Coarse or coarse grinding is ideal for a French press (piston coffee makers) when the optimal cooking time is 7 minutes. For dripping coffee makers and for many other brewing methods, it is advised to choose a natural coffee of medium grinding. Here, the preparation time of the drink is reduced by a couple of minutes. Fine or thin or ground coffee is essential for use in cone-filter coffee makers. Only 1-4 minutes and the most aromatic drink is ready.

This information concerned, so to speak, basic or basic types of grinding. In addition, you can distinguish 3 more options that are familiar to true coffee lovers: thin espresso grinding, medium thin (coarse) grinding and powdered, ultra-fine grinding. Natural ground coffee of the last type in its structure is very similar to flour and is used exclusively for boiling a real Turkish drink in jezwa.

Some professionals who really understand all the intricacies of coffee grinding believe that even the level of humidity in the air plays an important role here. However, it is certainly too difficult for home cooking. It is enough to determine what kind of natural ground coffee is suitable for your coffee maker, so that the prepared drink suits you.
