Buenos días! hoy estoy buscando el grado de molido perfecto para café usando una Baratza Encore y una cafetera italiana tipo Moka llena a media dosis (18gr). #coffeechain
Discussion
Sorry with the translation i can't catch whats the question, but moke is really straight forward, top up the chamber with coffee put good water until the mark and boil there's no much secret there
Normally I do 30gr of coffee in my Moka (6 cups) with the Baratza setting to 11 and results are OK. But sometimes I don't want to do a full 30 gr of coffee (to diminish caffeine intake), so I put 18gr of coffee with the same amount of water (I don't mind if the coffee is a little more watery). The question is: should I grind finer or coarser?
Fine, because otherwise the water will pass by the coffee and will not extract the potential of your blend. But as always is basically a matter of taste ☕
OK, this makes sense. Finer than what I would do with 30gr I guess. Thanks for the advice! I'll try it out :)
Be my guest
But just a little idea for you, the moka process gets better results if you use the proper measurements, in other hand, i understand that you are worried about not consuming all the batch, my solution for you is do it all and the part that you don't drink becomes your tomorrow's cold brew ☕
Interesting. Now in the summer this could work. Any idea if the grind setting changes if I do decaf coffee?
