Customers who purchase expensive, high-quality coffee beans and grind them in-store may be wasting the money they just spent, according to the latest guide from custom bean roaster Coffee Lover.

Grinding the beans allows their internal oils to be exposed to the air, which releases and dissipates them into the room, the new guide explains. This makes the room smell great, but prevents the oils from making it into the brew.
And it doesn’t take long - only about 10 minutes, according to New York Times food critics. In recent articles, experts at both the Times and Food & Wine Magazine recommended skipping the line for grinding at the store and investing in an at-home grinder.
Coffee Lover’s guide agrees that beans are best ground just before brewing, and recommends burr grinders as the ideal tool for the process. Burr grinders work along the same principles as hand-operated grinders, but their grinding plates are outfitted with burrs. These burrs guarantee that the ground coffee particles are the same size.
Particle consistency is important, say the experts at Food & Wine magazine, because it affects the final taste. Its flavor is drawn out by the hot water coffee makers force through the ground particles. Irregularly shaped particles can result in inconsistent flavors that won’t even out. Instead, they present all the flavors within the same brew, resulting in cups that are simultaneously bitter and sour.
Burr grinders aren’t cheap, Coffee Lover warns, but make sense for consumers already investing in high-quality beans. The java aficionado recommends the OXO Brew Conical Coffee Grinder as the most economical, quality grinder. It has 15 grind settings, as well as microsetting capabilities. Customers interested in more customizable options should consider the Breville Smart Grinder Pro Coffee Bean Grinder, which boasts stainless steel burrs and 60 precise grind settings.
Both machines give consumers the ability to adjust grind size for different types of coffee. The guide advises that finely ground beans are ideal for espresso and Turkish coffee. Press-style machines are designed to work with coarse grinds. Most standard drip coffee makers do best with a medium grind.
Consumers who aren't dabbling in exotic beverages still keep their options open for exploration by purchasing a grinder, according to Coffee Lover. They retain the freedom to try different grind textures down the road and adjust for their preferred flavor.
“The way you grind your coffee has an impact on the flavor,” a company representative said. “Coffee is a more flexible beverage than you may have anticipated.”
Offering a wealth of knowledge for all things related to java, Coffee Lover is passionate about creating custom roasts to fit every palate. The company uses only clean, sustainably sourced beans from Brazil, Columbia, and Vietnam.
