I haven't gotten this technical yet in my coffee journey but I would always ask my local roasters how they would prefer the grind on a specific bean type and which brewing method they would prefer with it. They also have an infograph in their store to show the determining factors to consider when looking for the perfect ground. This always seems to work for me, for now since I'm still new to this. And I'm always satisfied with the results this way.

@Luke Gilbert , I would often have the roasters grind it for me but when I would want to practice I would borrow the handheld coffee grinder of one of my friends, who also owns their own roasters, and would practice from there. They suggested that this is the best way to learn for beginners which is why I practice whenever I can and when I visit their store.

Metro Manila, Philippines for me

@Naureen Amjad , cool! My father's side of the family are from Lahore and the food there is always amazing

Just 1 for me, it's the Colombia Supremo. I really love the flavors of this one

Hi all, I'm Nam and I'm very glad to be part of this group. From the introductions, I'll go chronologically. 1. My favorite and most consistent coffee ritual is having a hot mocha latte and resting in a small coffee shop after my dog's morning walks. 2. One of the coffee skills I would love to learn is identifying the flavor profile of the coffee bean used in the coffee and learning the different roasting methods. 3. I don't often have a photo of myself but here's one of the coffee I often have in my local coffee shop
