Can I use my own ground coffee in a Keurig?
While you can put coffee ground for a drip machine through a Keurig, just slightly coarser works a little bit better. Too fine a grind will lead to sediment in your coffee cup, but too coarse will lead to the water rushing through the coffee too quickly and not extracting as much flavor.
Is it better to grind coffee coarse or fine?
Because the coffee is steeped in boiling water, the contact time between the water and coffee is much longer, which requires a coarser grind. Grinding the coffee too coarse will make the coffee weak. Grinding too fine will make the coffee murky and taste bitter.
Does grind size affect coffee flavor?
Choosing the Right Grind Size In general, if you brew coffee that is ground too coarse, the coffee can be under-extracted (weak), and less flavorful. If your coffee is ground too fine, however, the coffee can be over-extracted and bitter. Small changes in grind size can drastically affect the taste of your final brew.
Is K-Cup coffee the same as regular coffee?
Keurig K-Cups only have 7-8g of coffee in them. Since this 7-8 is only half the coffee used to make a normal cup, it’s only responsible for about 50mg or so of caffeine—and that means, to get the average caffeine amount in, you’d have to drink 5 cups.
