When coffee ceases to be just a morning routine or a mere drink, many of us begin to invest more time and effort in developing knowledge of the same, diving deeper into the recesses of the coffee world.

If you ever find yourself at that stage, take the leap; you’ll certainly be better off for it.

What this does is further open you up to the diverse types and flavours of coffee, helping you expand the horizons of your tastes and preferences.

And before you know it, you’ve bought ten different coffees and a couple of coffee makers. But don’t worry, we’ve all been there, done that at some point in nurturing our love for coffee.

If you’re planning to get started with grinding your coffee at home, chances are that you are looking to experiment or want to become more involved in making coffee.

Here are some tips to keep in mind to make the process as effective as possible.

Appreciating good coffee is not always about how it looks or where it has been bought from (yes, the origin matters, but there’s more to it!).

There’s something called a sensory profile that comes into play when you are trying to decide whether a coffee is worth its weight in gold. And this is how coffee producers go about assessing, altering, and grading their coffees.

Size matters when it comes to your coffee grounds. Unfortunately, many a great coffee has been let down by incorrect grind size and perfecting this variable will help you to improve the taste of your coffee. 

Unexpected and undesirable flavours such as sour, bitter or burnt tasting brews are nobody's friend.

So, read on and discover how to achieve an ideal, controlled extraction. In short - a darn good brew!
