BFF Java - To Grind or Not to Grind

Name	Grind Type
Whole Bean	None, just the beans roasted, mixed, and ready for your grinding pleasure.
Extra Coarse	A coarse grind for grounds exposed to constant water as in a french press.  Also good as a soil amendment to add lightness and organic matter
Coarse	A  coarse texture used in old-fashioned electric peculators and cowboy coffee.  [Cowboy coffee boils grounds with water, when grounds sink, coffee is done. filter out grounds with a fine colander or screen splash guard.  Remember coffee was boiling and is too HOT to Drink yet.]
Medium Coarse	A medium coarse grind for Drip Coffee Makers.  Smaller than above so more coffee extracted per unit of water.
Medium	A medium grind, typical of perk coffee makers.    The "default" grind we prefer to use for ground coffee.  If you are unsure, select this one.
K-Cup	A midway to Medium Fine grind that we use for packaged k-cups.  If you are using re-usable k-cups, then select this one.
Medium Fine	A medium fine grind, typical of pour over coffee stands.
Fine	Espresso Grind 1 - Typically used in non-Italian type espresso machines such as Venezia
Finer	Espresso Grind 2 - Typically used in Italian type espresso machines such as Brasilia Gradisca
Finest	Turkish Grind, where grounds are served as part of the drink, forming a dark, thick, sludge at the bottom of the cup.  Very Strong results.
