    How fine do you grind your coffee grounds for american coffee? I'm curious to know how other people do it, as I have very little experience with that coffee making process. I use coarse for french press, midway between coarse and fine for moka, ultrafine for turkish but I never know how to grind it for american.

      I just set my bean to cup machine to "finest grind" and leave it there.

        I tried with a fine grind yesterday and it seems it improved the taste quite a bit, I will sample better when not sleepwalking.

          Greetings Kind Regards By American do you mean Americano? If so from a video I just now learned it is an espresso poured into a cup of water. So presumably the grind is that of an espresso. By the way perhaps this site may be of use Coffee ad Astra[^] If not Americano may I inquire the meaning. The method of brewing I am most familiar wtih is "Cowboy". Then there is this fellow.

            That's an Americano if you ask it in Italy. I'm referring to the drip coffee machines so common in the USA.

              The only thing I hate about cowboy is that when you get older and into what you're doing you forget and take that last gulp and end up with a mouth full of grit.

                I'm not the one to ask. The only coffee I've ever had in my life* is the whole grain, chocolate-covered. [*] I'm not even joking. I suspect I'm the type that - if I started - would drink 6 a day. So I'd rather not know what I'm missing.

                    It looks like the size of coffee grounds does not depend on the origin or quality, but on the usage you make of it: Coffee Grind Chart- Which Grind for Different Coffee Makers | GROSCHE[^] COPILOT tends to confirm: The best grind size for coffee generally depends more on the brewing method than the origin of the beans. However, the origin and roast level of the beans can influence the optimal grind size to some extent: Light Roasts: These beans often benefit from a finer grind, which helps to extract their more delicate and complex flavors1. Medium Roasts: A medium grind is usually ideal, balancing the extraction to bring out a fuller body and balanced flavor1. Dark Roasts: These beans are typically ground more coarsely to avoid over-extraction, which can lead to a bitter taste1. While the grind size is crucial for achieving the best flavor, it’s also important to consider other factors like water temperature, brewing time, and coffee-to-water ratio23.

                        I just chew the beans and spit them in a cup, then pour hot water over them.

                          For paper baskets it's a 4 on my grinder. For brass filters it's a 3 (a bit courser, like for a french press) If you want a Americanism: At Starbucks if you ask for flat bottom grind you get a paper filter grind. You ask for a course grind for a french press or brass filter. Took me forever to figure that out.

                            I always strain w/ metal strainer though plenty of grit remains but I've been successful in avoiding consuming it. Unfortunately I have yet to figure out how to strain w/ a paper filter as it always clogs. Some many months ago the paper filters did the trick. I do not know what changed. The result was a smoother flavor. Also according to Harvard drinking filtered coffee results in a lower rate of death. I am not certain such is to be preferred as it may be preferable to get to the big coffee house in the sky in an expeditious manner once your number is called.

                                  So? Many people drink wine and coffee, though not usually at the same time... :)

                                    I guess I will have to read the Bible again. Maybe I will find the section he walks into Starbucks.

                                      How fine do you grind your coffee grounds for american coffee? I'm curious to know how other people do it, as I have very little experience with that coffee making process. I use coarse for french press, midway between coarse and fine for moka, ultrafine for turkish but I never know how to grind it for american.

                                      Not drinking coffee I just figured the only 'grinding' involved might be when they pull up to a drive through to grab a coffee and their car needs some work.

                                        What is 'American coffee'? Do you mean drip/filter coffee?

                                          Only because I never would've imagined I'd watch a random YouTuber with any sort of fervor... Look for James Hoffman. That dude... he knows coffee. Edit: What I know (from watching that guy most likely) - It is really going to depend a bunch on the coffee itself. A coarser grind can maybe minimize undesirable elements with the trade off of not getting as much extraction and so requiring either more beans or acceptably milder flavor.
