Which grind should I choose for my brew method?Updated 7 days ago

Choosing the right grind is the biggest step toward great coffee at home. The rule of thumb: the longer the coffee is in contact with water, the coarser the grind should be.

Brew method: grind

• French press: Coarse
• Cold brew: Coarse
• Chemex or drip coffee maker: Medium to medium-coarse
• Pour-over: Medium
• AeroPress: Medium-fine
• Espresso: Fine
• Single-use pods (K-Cup style): Between espresso and cone drip

Grind numbers vary a lot from one grinder to another, and a “#5,” for example, is typically pour-over, so we recommend choosing by brew method when you order. If you’re not sure, our Brew Guide has tested recipes for each method: https://larryscoffee.com/pages/brew-guide
