When it comes to brewing the perfect cup of coffee, the grind size is just as important as the roast you choose. Whether you’re an espresso enthusiast, a pour-over perfectionist, or a French press devotee, the right grind size can make or break your coffee experience. But with so many options, how do you know which grind is right for your brewing method?

At Aggudo Coffee, we make it easy to match your coffee’s grind size to your favourite brewing style. When you select one of our freshly roasted beans, you’ll have the option to choose from a variety of grind sizes, each tailored to bring out the best flavours in your brew.

In this guide, we’ll break down the basics of grind sizes and explain how they influence your coffee’s flavour, texture, and aroma. You’ll also learn why investing in the right grind can transform your daily coffee ritual from good to unforgettable.

Why Grind Size Matters

The grind size determines how water interacts with your coffee grounds. A finer grind means more surface area, which leads to faster extraction, while a coarser grind slows things down. Matching the grind size to your brewing method ensures the perfect balance of flavours—avoiding bitterness from over-extraction or a weak cup from under-extraction.

The Right Grind for Every Brew

Espresso: Fine grind for a bold, concentrated shot. Think of espresso as the John Wick of coffee: sharp, intense, and it doesn’t mess around. This fine grind works fast to extract bold flavours—just like Keanu Reeves’ precision on-screen.

Pour-Over/Drip Coffee: Medium/Medium Fine grind for a clean, balanced cup. One of the most common and popular brew methods. We recommend Medium as the most versatile grind option. 

French Press/Cold Brew: Coarse grind for a smooth, full-bodied flavour.

Not sure what to choose? Don’t worry! Our product pages include grind size recommendations based on your brewing method, so you’ll always pick the best option for your favourite roast.
