So, what's the perfect grind size? Well, it's like Goldilocks - not too fine, not too coarse, but just right. And, surprisingly, the ideal grind size is between 0.5-1.5 mm - yeah, it's that specific. Anything outside of that range, and you might as well be drinking dishwater.
Now, you might be thinking, "But, what about turkish coffee? Isn't that, like, super fine?" And, to that, I say, "Yes, it is!" Turkish coffee is ground to a fine powder, almost like dust, which is why it's so strong and rich. But, for espresso, you want a grind that's a bit more... well, let's say, refined.
So, how do you achieve this perfect grind? Well, it's not exactly rocket science, but it does require a bit of trial and error. You'll need to experiment with different grind settings on your espresso machine, and maybe even invest in a grind gauge to measure the size of your grounds. Yeah, it's a thing, and it's actually pretty cool.
