Coffee grind size refers to the size of the ground coffee particles,
which can range from coarse to fine. The grind size affects how much coffee is
in contact with water during brewing, which in turn affects the flavor and strength of the coffee.
Different brewing methods require different grind sizes to optimize the extraction process.
