For the best results with U Café Expresso beans, grind them just before brewing. The fineness of the grind will depend on your chosen brewing method. For espresso machines, a fine grind is typically recommended to achieve the proper extraction and crema. If using a French press, a coarser grind is usually preferred. For moka pots, a medium-fine grind often works well. Experiment with different grind sizes and coffee-to-water ratios to find your perfect cup. The intense flavor also makes these beans suitable for brewing a strong base for milk-based coffee drinks.
