Water your beans before grinding for a more flavoursome cup - Napoli Robusta beans still on sale for a short time only

No, we don't want you to water your beans to grow your coffee! (and you can't from roasted beans), however, try this hack with a spray mist on your beans.

Grinding coffee beans is a crucial step in achieving a flavourful cup of coffee. Reams of articles are written about getting the right grind for your beans. Adding water before grinding is scientifically prooven to enhance the brewing experience. Here’s why:

1. Reducing Clumping: When coffee beans are lightly misted with water, the water molecules form a thin layer around each bean. As you grind the beans, static electricity tends to build up. The water acts as a neutralizing agent, preventing the grounds from clumping together, sticking to the grinder’s walls, or flying out onto your countertop¹.
2. Improved Consistency: Adding around 20 microliters of water per gram of coffee (approximately half a millilitre for a typical brew) can significantly improve the consistency of your espresso. The grounds disperse more evenly, leading to a better extraction during brewing. You’ll notice a difference in flavour when you squirt a little water on the beans before grinding².
3. Cost Savings for Commercial Coffee Companies: Beyond home brewing, this technique could save commercial coffee companies hundreds of millions of dollars. Less clumpy ground coffee allows more water to percolate through, reducing the amount of coffee beans needed for a brew of a certain strength³.
