Brew parameters

Medium grind

Also known as medium grind · molienda media · medium · filtre moyen

Molinillo: molienda media típica de filtro

What it is and what sets it apart: Finer than press, coarser than espresso. One grinder’s “medium” isn’t another’s. Fits drip percolation.

How it’s used or measured: Start mid filter range; tune by total time and taste. Log with method in Brew Lab.

Flavours and cup impact: Right medium: filter sweetness/clarity. Too fine: bitter/stall; too coarse: sour.

Technical notes: V60/Kalita near here; moka finer; press coarser.

Common mistakes: Treating “medium” as a world standard. Not retuning after coffee/filter changes.
