Kruve: micrometrically precise grinding

We all know how important consistent grind accuracy is when making coffee. In today's article, we're going to introduce the Kruve Sifter - a sieve that will ensure your coffee always has a full and consistent flavour. Read on to find out much more.

The Kruve Sifter - what is it?

It's asystem of sieves that sorts ground coffee, allowing for a more perfect taste ofthe resulting beverage. It works on the principle ofremoving large or small particles and dust that form after the coffee has been ground. This is because even the best coffee grinders do not grind coffee 100% evenly and consistently.

TheKruve sifter has two levels of sifting. Each sieve is designed to sift through beans of a specific size to separate out unwanted particles.

The sieve with the larger holes belongs to the upper section.
The sieve with smaller holes is in the lower chamber.

You pour the ground coffee into the upper part, close it and start sieving. The particles that aretoo large will stay in the top section and thefinerones will fall into thebottom section. The coffee grounds will get trapped in the middle, which should be absolutely perfect for your chosen coffee brew .

Types of Kruve strainers

There are three models of Kruve sifter:

Sifter base,
Sifter plus
Sifter max.

Each model differs in the number of sieves available. The sizes of each sieve are given in micrometers (0.001 mm).

The Sifterbase modelhas five sieves in the following sizes:

300 μm
500 μm
800 μm
1100 μm
1400 μm

The Sifter plus has 15 sieves ranging from200 to 1600μm (fineness increases in 100 μm increments), which give you even greater screening accuracy .

The last model, the Sifter max, is best for those whonot only grind their own coffee but alsoroast it themselves. As it has 15 sieves for ground coffee and 10 bean sieves, thanks to which you can remove defects from roasted beans.

What does "boulders & fines" mean in ground coffee?

These two terms are used in conjunction with thecoarseness of the ground coffee. Fines (fine particles) are caused by the fragility of the coffee. Boulders (larger particles, stones) are large pieces of beans that can pass through the grinder without being crushed. These particles are almost always formed after the coffee has been ground.

Thebalance between fine and larger particles needs to be maintained. Because these excess particles make the taste change considerably. The fine particles are responsible for the coffee having a "muddier" tasteafterwards and are overextracted. Larger particles, on the other hand,do not impart enough of their flavour to the coffee .
