The coarse grinding of the coffee beans should be utilized in the preparation of a mocha coffee. This grinding method allows for the extraction of a strong, fullbodied, and flavorful coffee.

Medium grinding should be chosen when preparing coffee with a French Press. With this type of grinding, you will be able to prepare a smoother, more aromatized coffee.

Fine grinding is ideal for expresso machinies. The ideal expresso coffee preparation should last between 25 and 30 seconds. If its extraction takes more or less time, tweaking of the grinding may be necessary.

Extra fine grinding is used in the preparation of turkish coffee, since the coffee powder isn't strained.

History Additional information Reviews / Comments

Chicory is a plant that has been used for various purposes since ancient Egypt. However, the use of roasted chicory as a coffee substitute in beverages can be traced back to 18^(th)-century Europe. Facing economic embargoes and coffee shortages, certain European populations popularised the use of roasted chicory as the basis for a beverage.

What was once a practice born of times of crisis is now sought after for its own merits and is the beverage of choice for many consumers.

Preparation:

1.Select your favorite substitute and chose the grinding more adequate to your machine or preparation method.
2.Dose the beverage with 8 to 10g of chicory for each coffe cup, according to your personal tastes.
3.Preferably use non-sparkling spring water. Always scald your coffee cup (preferably porcelain).
4.Serve immediately. Keep the package well sealed and stored in a cool place protected from sunlight.

If you opt for on-the-spot grinding, the date on the package is the grind date, and should be consumed in a period of 90 days.
