Today, especially popular culture has introduced many different types of coffee into our country’s cuisine. For this reason, when using a coffee grinder machine, machines that can grind different types of coffee should be preferred. Because for espresso, cappuccino, filter coffee or Turkish coffee, coffee beans must pass through different roasting degrees and be ground to different qualities.
When you choose a coffee roasting machine and coffee grinder machine, it is important to use this machine correctly. In this way, you will be able to get the coffee taste, smell and texture you want. It is possible to always offer the same coffee quality to customers, especially in businesses, by using the right machine. This will be the same for businesses that both serve hot coffee and sell coffee.
What Should Be Considered When Using a Coffee Grinder Machine?
The commercial coffee grinder machine is a device that should be used regularly as one of the basic equipment of the business. For this reason, it is necessary to pay attention to many points when using a grinder for operational safety, product quality, occupational and worker health. For example, at the first point it is necessary to consider the location in which the machine is used. As GÜLMAK, we carry out a stable and reliable installation of the commercial coffee grinders we sell at the most suitable point when the product is delivered to your business. In this way, reliable device use in the same location for a long time is achieved.
The coffee grinder machine is powered by electricity and the grinding process is carried out. It is a device that produces both sound and movement as a result of this process. The location of the device must ensure that it receives air and does not get hot. The device must be able to be used without tipping over where it is mounted securely. However, the electrical connection of the device must be problem-free. Grounding must be provided and electrical cables must be connected in a safe manner.
Before Use And After Use
It is necessary to pay attention to different points before and after using grinding machines. For example, before using a commercial coffee grinder machine, it should be cleaned regularly every day. In other words, the bean coffee chamber and the ground coffee chamber should be checked and cleaned of dust. The device must be cleaned and the electrical connection must be made ready. The mill part, that is, the part where the stone blades are located, should also be checked.
After using the coffee grinder, the chambers and the interior should be cleaned as described. Additionally, the areas where the knives are located should be included in the cleaning. Because coffee has its own fatty acids and aroma. Therefore, it will leave both a smell and a color in the environment. If regular cleaning is not carried out at the mentioned points, unwanted odors, microorganisms and a dirty appearance will occur after a while. This will cause the mill to exceed the desired efficiency and quality.
How Should the Coffee Grinder Machine Be Cleaned?
Even if the machines pass the ground coffee into the lower chamber, some coffee will remain in the inner part and in the intermediate parts of the mill. Although this amount is beneficial for a consistent process, when it gradually increases, cleaning is required. If cleaning is not done, the fresh and high-quality structure of the coffee may disappear. For this reason, while some burrs are made at the inner point in the commercial coffee grinder design, excessive accumulation of coffee and clumping in these burrs affects the quality.
By cleaning, this resulting clumping must be eliminated. It is necessary to prevent accumulation in glass containers and lids and to prevent the coffee from losing its fresh structure. As GÜLMAK Machinery, we continue to advise you to follow the details we recommended from the first point of cleaning. In other words, a healthy and daily cleaning should be done with the recommended materials. However, the coffee grinder machine is a process that increases performance and ensures a consistent product.
How to Grind Coffee with a Coffee Grinder Machine?
Drinking a more delicious coffee varies depending on the brewing equipment of the coffee. Each coffee brewing equipment has its own grinding fineness. This is not actually a choice, it is a necessity. Because it is very important to grind the coffee beans to equal sizes in accordance with the brewing equipment. Many types of grinders are available in the market. It is very important that the features of the equipment you will use are compatible with the grinder you will use. If this harmony is not present, you may experience problems. For Turkish coffee, grinders with different settings are required for different espressos. For example, Turkish coffee requires a powdery grind. That’s why home coffee grinders cannot achieve this. Maybe some electric grinders or hand coffee grinders can come close to this thick flavor. However, the desired consistency can be achieved with professional stone mills. Grinding can be done for approximately any piece of equipment with hand grinders. But doing this is a bit tiring. You need to have strong arms for this. At the same time, it is not very simple to fine-tune.
Sizes of Ground Coffees
Extra finely ground coffee ranks first among these. It can only be expressed as ground coffee for Turkish coffee. It is ground much finer than espresso. It can be prepared by cooking it in a Turkish coffee machine or coffee pot. In second place is finely ground coffee. This coffee can be defined as the ground coffee used in espresso machines. It can be placed in the moka pot filter section or the coffee section of espresso machines. It is ground slightly larger than Turkish coffee. In third place is medium-fine ground coffee. Coffee with this structure is not widely available in the market. Siphon, which resembles a moka pot, is placed in coffee and cooked. Medium ground coffee is also prepared using the drip method. Coffees of this size cannot pass through the filter. That’s why it doesn’t drip into the glass. This results in a more delicious taste.
The most easily found type of coffee is coarsely ground coffee. It can be used simply with the help of a French press. Coffee ground at this size does not just pass through the French press filter. So this coffee goes all the way down. Finally, we can talk about the coffee that is the most difficult to taste. Extra coarsely ground coffee should definitely be brewed for a long time. The name of this coffee is also known as “Cold Brew”. This coffee needs to be brewed for at least 10 hours.
Brewing Equipment and Coffee Grind Size
Whether it is coffee grinders or other direct equipment, filter properties, permeability, brewing time, etc. It has differences in such matters. It is necessary to control these variables. The size of the ground coffee is important for this control. Here, a relationship can be established between the sizes of the coffee according to the brewing equipment. So a classification can be made. But you may want to try different things according to your own taste.Your coffee grinder type may vary depending on your experience.
Extra coarse grind for cold brew
Coarsely ground for French press
Medium coarse ground for Chemex
Medium ground for metal filter
Medium ground for paper filter

Combination of Delicious Coffee
The combination of coffee’s flavor depends on the harmony of the above factors. The right equipment and the right coffee size come first here. At this point, coffee grinders make it easier to reach the taste because they are useful. At the same time, when we say coffee grinder, we directly think of how to grind coffee. Because it is very practical. Using practical products makes it easier to reach the flavor you want.
