Imagine a spectrum of grind sizes, ranging from extra fine to extra coarse. On one end, you have the powdery fine grinds that are perfect for Turkish coffee, and on the other, you have the chunky grinds that are better suited for French press. But where does drip coffee fit into this spectrum, you ask?
Well, for drip coffee, you want a grind size that's just right – not too fine, not too coarse. If it's too fine, the water will flow through too quickly, resulting in a weak and under-extracted cup. And if it's too coarse, the water will flow through too slowly, resulting in a bitter and over-extracted cup.
