Ground Coffee Guide by Brew Method
Short answer: ground coffee should match the brewer. Espresso needs a fine grind; moka generally needs a grind between espresso and filter; drip and pour-over use a medium grind; French press uses coarse coffee; and Turkish coffee requires an extra-fine, powder-like grind. A bag labelled for one method may extract poorly in another, so use the stated brew method as your first filter.

Preparation starting points
- Espresso: if the shot runs too quickly, use a finer grind or more coffee; if it stalls, go coarser or reduce the dose.
- Moka pot: fill the basket level without hard tamping and keep heat controlled.
- Filter: adjust grind by drawdown time and taste; sour and fast often points finer, while bitter and slow often points coarser.
- Turkish coffee: use coffee explicitly ground for Turkish preparation and follow the desired sugar method from the start.
Frequently asked questions
Can espresso-ground coffee be used in a moka pot?
Sometimes, but very fine espresso coffee can restrict flow in some moka baskets. Coffee labelled for moka is the safer starting point.
Can Turkish coffee be used in an espresso machine?
No. Turkish coffee is usually too fine and can restrict flow or create excessive sediment. Use coffee ground for espresso.
How long does ground coffee stay fresh?
Aroma declines after opening. Reseal the bag, keep it away from heat, moisture and light, and buy a size that suits your usage rate.
