The coarseness of your ground coffee depends on what brewing method you are going to use. Basically, if you brew coffee that is ground too coarse your coffee will be weak. If the coffee is ground too fine your coffee will be strong and bitter. The coffee grind size can greatly affect the taste of your final brew.
