coffee grinding

Crushing roasted beans

Coffee grinding is the process of crushing roasted coffee beans into smaller particles for brewing.

The grind size—from coarse to fine—affects extraction and suits different brewing methods: coarse for French press, fine for espresso.

She could hear the coffee grinding from the kitchen each morning.
