Adjusting Coffee Grinds for Coffee Strength
If you know your preferred coffee bean blend and favorite coffee roasting method, you can adjust coffee strength for your home coffee maker by using different coffee grinds.
At Peak Flavor coffee, we use a 20-grade Burr Guatamala grinding scale to optimize home coffee flavor and strength for each type of home coffee maker.

Using the wrong coffee grinds in your home coffee maker leads to over- or under-extraction. Using fine coffee grinds slows down the speed at which water passes through the coffee bed. If water passes too slowly, your coffee will over-extract and taste bitter, ashy, or harsh.
Under-extraction happens when you use coffee grinds, which are too coarse for your coffee maker. As a result of under-extraction, water flows through too quickly and your coffee will taste sour, astringent, and weak.
Without intimate knowledge of coffee bean blends, roasting techniques, and custom coffee grinds, it’s not easy to select the best coffee for your home coffee maker. At Peak Flavor Coffee, we provide a custom coffee fit for your home coffee maker. Select your home coffee maker and let us recommend the best fit.
Best Home Coffee Beans
For each type of home coffee maker, you should adjust your coffee bean blend if you want naturally sweet, mild and creamy home coffee.
Most home coffee makers need high elevation coffee bean blends for naturally sweetness. Other home coffee makers need some Robusta varieties to add body, caffeine and creaminess.
At Peak Flavor Coffee, we always use a blend of naturally sweet coffee beans. We exclusively select coffee beans from the mountains of Brazil and Honduras to perfectly fit your home coffee maker with the aim to deliver sweet, mild and creamy home coffee. To add creaminess, we often add sweet coffee beans from the highlands in Vietnam for a defined selection of home coffee makers, such as: espresso machine, French press, Moka Pot, and some metal Pour Over Coffee filters.
Our naturally sweet coffee bean blends mostly contain mild Arabica coffee beans for cleaner drip coffee, and for paper filter pour over coffee or Chemex. To add body, creaminess and caffeine, we sometimes include a minor fraction of high-quality Robusta coffee beans into our coffee bean blends.
At Peak Flavor Coffee, we realize it is daunting to find the perfect coffee bean blend to fit your home coffee maker. We make better home coffee easy. Select your home coffee maker and and let us recommend the best blend.
Best Home Coffee Grinds
Coffee grinds need to match the extraction method of your home coffee maker. Using the right coffee grinds makes the difference between a bitter or better home coffee.
An espresso machine extracts flavor with water pressure. A French press extracts aroma by steeping. A drip coffee maker or pour over coffee maker extracts coffee taste by gravity. A Moka Pot uses reverse gravity to extract coffee taste. Select your home coffee maker in this list to learn what coffee grinds fit your home coffee maker best.
Over-extracted coffee is bitter and happens when your coffee grinds are too fine for your home coffee maker. Under-extracted coffee is sour and watery and happens when your coffee grinds are too coarse for your home coffee maker.
At Peak Flavor Coffee, we realize not everybody has the in-depth coffee expertise to find the perfect custom coffee grind for each home coffee maker. We make it easy to find the best fit. Shop for your home coffee maker here

No. People often confuse coffee strength and caffeine content to be the same.
Caffeine content refers to the amount of caffeine in your cup.
Coffee strength, however, refers to the amount of dissolved coffee grinds in your cup.
On average, less than 10% of the dissolved grounds are caffeine.
The type and origin of your coffee beans determine caffeine content. High-grade Robusta coffee beans from the Vietnamese highlands contain twice as much caffeine as Arabica coffee beans.
