Coffee is more than just a beverage; it is an experience that involves taste and aroma, and how it is prepared is vital. Andrea Allen, a coffee expert, emphasizes that grind size is the most critical factor influencing espresso flavor. A coarse grind leads to quicker extraction with a sour taste, while a fine grind can produce a bitter outcome. Allen advises making adjustments carefully, focusing on one variable at a time to enhance the overall coffee experience and ensure the best flavor and texture.
"Grind size is THE factor for flavor experience for espresso," says Andrea Allen, co-founder of Onyx Coffee Lab... "Finding the balance in coffee flavor is about finding the correct grind size."
"Coarser grind [equates to] a quicker extraction and less extracted solids, [which] equals a more sour experience," says Allen... "a finer grind will result in 'a slower extraction and more extracted solids, [and] equals a more bitter taste experience.'"
