It must have a hardness between 3 and 9 French degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Then it must be in the right dose: around 7 and 7,5 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Another rule concerns grinding. It must not be too fine like white flour nor too coarse like&nbsp;yellow flour which is grainy. It must be somewhere in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">One way to know if we have found the right grind is sticking to two rules: 25 seconds of&nbsp;brewing with 25 cc of coffee in a cup.&nbsp;So let\u2019s grind the coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Do not use old ground coffee because, just a few minutes after&nbsp;grinding, the coffee loses the carbon dioxide which is needed to brew the coffee at its best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Another thing is to even the coffee, then pressing it hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">The hard pressure compacts the coffee cloth in the filter, hence it is useful to make the&nbsp;most of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section data-block=\"school-tease-block\" class=\"relative school-tease-block \">\n\t<div
