Fresh Ground Coffee

Chef: Mia Hackney Vitamix Sous Chef

Ingredients

• 160g whole coffee beans, roasted

Directions

1. Place coffee beans into the Vitamix container and secure the lid.
2. Coarse grind: Start on the lowest speed, then quickly increase to Variable 8. Blend for 8–10 seconds until the texture resembles coarse salt. Ideal for French press.
3. Medium grind: Start on the lowest speed, then increase to Variable 8. Blend for 15–20 seconds until the texture resembles breadcrumbs or coarse sand. Ideal for pour-over or drip brewing.
4. Fine grind: Start on the lowest speed, then increase to Variable 8. Blend for 20 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides. Secure the lid and pulse on Variable 8 until the texture resembles table salt or granulated sugar. Ideal for espresso.
5. Use immediately for best flavour.

• For maximum flavour, grind whole beans just before brewing.
• Freshly ground coffee should be stored in an opaque airtight container at room temperature and used within 1–2 weeks.
