Coffee Grind Size Guide

Discover the ideal grind sizes for pour over, Chemex, auto drip, and more with our expert guidance. Read on for our top recommendations.

Blade vs. Burr Grinder

What’s the difference? A blade grinder will produce coarse and uneven grounds, a burr grinder will produce consistent and uniform grounds. We recommend if you’re grinding your own coffee to look for a burr grinder. A coarser grind will produce under extracted coffee, while a finer grind can produce over extracted coffee. Finding the right grind size can help you achieve the best results.
