Understanding Coffee Grinds
Coarse Grind: The Chunky Brew
Best for French press, cold brew, and percolators, coarse grinds are like chunky sea salt. They allow for a slow extraction and are less likely to pass through large filters, avoiding grounds in your cup.
Medium-Coarse Grind: The Versatile Grind
This grind is slightly finer than coarse grind but still has a gritty texture. It’s ideal for specialty brewers like the Chemex or a Café Solo, where there is a longer steeping process but less risk of over-extraction.
Medium Grind: The Balanced Choice
Our medium grind is like the consistency of regular sand and is universally accepted for most automatic drip coffee makers and pour-overs. It's a perfect middle ground for flavor and extraction.
Medium-Fine Grind: The Delicate Balance
Best suited for pour-over cones and some Aeropress brewing methods, this grind is finer than sand but not as powdery as an espresso grind, allowing for a quick, but controlled extraction.
Fine Grind: The Espresso Powder
Like table salt, fine grinds are perfect for espresso machines. The fine grind creates the resistance necessary for pressurized espresso brewing and results in a rich and creamy beverage.
Extra Fine Grind: The Turkish Powder
Almost flour-like, this grind is mostly used for Turkish coffee. The powdery grind is essential for combining with water and sugar, if desired, to create the traditional, unfiltered Turkish brew.

We offer these three grinds to ensure that every coffee lover can find their fit. Whole beans provide the freshest taste for connoisseurs who can achieve their perfect grind at home.

Sustainability
At Roastwolf, our passion for coffee is matched only by our commitment to the planet. While every bean tells a story of its past and origin, we're also deeply invested in the story of our collective future. That’s why we've proudly partnered with 1% for the Planet, ensuring that a fraction of every sale directly aids environmental causes. From the ethically-sourced beans to our relationships with smallholder farmers, our focus is on creating a positive impact, cup by cup. It's more than just coffee—it's our dedication to a sustainable future, for everyone.
FAQs
What is the difference between freshly ground coffee and pre-ground coffee?
Freshly ground coffee is ground from the beans right before brewing, ensuring the freshest taste and preserving the bean's natural oils and flavors. Pre-ground coffee, while convenient, may lose some of its freshness and nuanced flavor over time.
_
How should I store my freshly ground coffee?
To preserve freshness, store your ground coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Avoid refrigeration, as this can introduce moisture to the grounds.
_
How quickly should I use my freshly ground coffee?
For the best flavor, we recommend using your freshly ground coffee within 1-2 weeks. The fresher, the better!
_
Why does freshly ground coffee taste better?
Freshly ground coffee has not had as much time to oxidize, which means it retains more of its initial flavors and aromatic compounds, providing a richer and more flavorful cup.
_
Is there a difference in caffeine content in freshly ground coffee?
The caffeine content primarily depends on the type of coffee bean, not the freshness of the grind. However, a fresher grind might provide a more robust flavor profile, making the coffee seem more potent.
_
How does the roast level affect the taste of the coffee?
Light roasts tend to be more acidic and can reveal more of the coffee's natural flavors. Medium roasts offer a balance between acidity and roasted flavor, while dark roasts have a more robust, toasted flavor. Our Med-dark roast provides a harmonious blend of dark chocolate, molasses, and brown sugar notes.
