Recommended Use
There are many ways to brew filter coffee, and the grind size should change depending on the method you choose. Because grinders have different settings, it is not easy to give one exact grind number.
- French Press: Coarse grind, like large sea salt
- V60 (Pour Over), Chemex, Paper Filter: Medium-coarse, like sand
- AeroPress, Moka Pot: Medium-fine, like granulated sugar
If you prefer ground coffee, De la Pau filter coffees are ground at a standard filter grind level, compatible with filter machines as well as V60 and Chemex. If you need a special grind for French Press, Moka Pot, or Syphon, you can message us via the “Ask the Seller” button.

Important Note: For better aroma and a healthier brew, don’t forget to wet your paper filter before brewing so no dry area remains. Also, make sure your brewing equipment or machine is clean.
Not Recommended For
This coffee is not suitable for those who do not have a filter coffee machine or a filter brewing tool such as V60, Chemex, or French Press. It is suitable for those who drink filter coffee black or with milk.
If you use a fully automatic espresso machine for drinks like Latte or Cappuccino, please consider Espresso Kreo, Espresso Rena, or Espresso Giza instead.
