Science: How grinders work deep inside

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!  --------- Please spread the word about The Science of Coffee!  Discover how I make these Filter Stories episodes by subscribing to my Substack newsletter.  Write a review on Apple Podcasts Follow me on Instagram and tag me in an Instagram story Leave a 5 star rating on Spotify Explore Mahlkönig’s range of world leading grinders, trusted by baristas globally.
