How do you grind coffee in the Thermomix?

All right, we already have our favorite coffee beans. What do I do with it now? The first thing you have to know is what type of coffee maker you are going to use, because in this way we are going to grind it finer or coarser, that is, more seconds or fewer seconds.

Ideally grind the right amount that we are going to consume, so that it has greater freshness. Although we can take advantage of and grind a little more quantity for the following days.

As a reference we will say that for a cup of coffee we will need between 15 g and 20 g of coffee beans (depending on how strong we like coffee).

So let's say we are going to grind 100 g of coffee beans:

• If we have a plunger or French type coffee maker, our grain has to be coarser. We program 30 seconds, progressive speed 5-10.
• If we have an Italian or espresso type coffee maker, our grain has to be finer. We program 50 seconds, progressive speed 5-10.

Once the time is up, we check the point of our ground coffee and, if necessary, grind for a few more seconds.

How do we preserve our coffee once it is ground?

As we have said before, the ideal is to grind just the coffee that we are going to consume. But, if you want, you can grind for the next few days. Once you have it ground, store it in an airtight jar or jar and it will be kept perfect.
