Grinding coffee beans
« on: March 20, 2013, 12:59:13 pm »
Just wondering if I could get some help with grinding coffee beans.  We only got our TM yesterday...so I'm virtually a newborn!

Anyway...

I ground some coffee beans morning (my first time!). 

Used the EDC instructions - 30 seconds at speed 9 and the beans were nowhere near ground enough.  Did it again (another 30 seconds at speed 9) and to be honest, there was little difference between the first and second goes.  There was a lot of inconsistency in the fineness of the grounding and seemed to be 'husks'.  Looked very different from what our little Breville coffee grinder does. 

Wondering if the issue was that I didn't grind enough beans (ie. only used 12 or so beans as I was experimenting) or is this the best it will do?

We use a presso (which is like a giant old school orange juicer) and need the beans fairly fine.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers.

Have a look at this thread posted about making coffee Monnie.
If you are happy with the results of using your coffee grinder I would keep using it.  ;)
