What’s the right grind size for our coffee tastings?

At Driftaway, we host three types of comparative coffee tastings: Weekly Saturday tastings with the Explorer Box, 90 minute Private tastings , and Corporate tastings. For all three, we taste the coffees in the professional, or cupping style.

For this method, each coffee is steeped in a mug, side by side, so that we can taste each one at the same temperature and compare.

The best grind size for this type of tasting is medium – what you’d use for a pour over or electric drip. It should look a little finer than sea salt:
