  • Right here's something I've been thinking about recently and I'm not getting conclusive answers from googling.

    Adjusting grind for quantity of brew.

    Should I be grinding coarser and/or changing the ratio when making larger batch brew quantity?

    250ml vs 500ml vs 1L

  • Generally speaking, no. But can depend on your brew method - if it's pourover, your flow rate is going to drop with the increased amount of coffee, which can lead to over-extraction if you don't bump up the grind size a bit.

  • I vary grind loads when doing small vs big with the Moccamaster. Grind for 330ml is way finer than for 1lt, otherwise the litre is over extracted and nasty. Sticking to 60g/L there aren't any other variable so makes sense

  • I usually just brew 200-250 ml for myself at home (mokkapot or V60) and using the same grind size for around 500 ml V60 yielded a horrible tasting cup. Definitely will grind coarser next time - or just use the french press, which needs a much coarser grind anyway.

    The mokkapot doesn't take too kindly to upping the dose either.
