The Science of Coffee

Freshness and Grinding, Part 2: How grinders work deep inside


Listen Later

Deep inside your coffee grinder, tiny changes can have massive consequences. 

This episode takes you deep inside Mahlkönig’s grinders to show you how coffee is ground and the importance of particle sizes on flavour. 

If you’re a home coffee lover, you could easily spend thousands of dollars on your coffee grinder. But after diving deep into the R&D of grinder manufacturing, I learned that after a certain point spending more probably won’t produce a better tasting cup of coffee for you!
