6. Grinding Settings for Various Brewing Methods

Achieving the perfect grind is crucial for optimal coffee extraction. The AMZCHEF grinder offers 30 settings to match your preferred brewing method:

• Fine Grind (Settings 1-10): Ideal for Espresso machines and Moka pots. This fine powder allows for quick extraction under pressure.
• Medium Grind (Settings 11-20): Suitable for Drip coffee makers and Pour Over methods. This texture allows water to pass through at a moderate rate.
• Coarse Grind (Settings 21-30): Best for French Press and cold brew. The larger particles prevent over-extraction and bitterness.

6.1 Conical Burr Advantage

The AMZCHEF grinder utilizes conical burrs, which are superior to flat burrs for several reasons:

• Fast and Uniform Output: Conical burrs produce a more consistent grind size, essential for optimal flavor extraction.
• Reduced Heat: They generate less heat during grinding, preserving the delicate oils and aromas of the coffee beans.
• Better Flavor: The combination of uniform grind and minimal heat results in a richer, more nuanced coffee flavor.
