Application of Laser Particle Size Analyzer in Jordanian Coffee

When we are tired of studying and working, drinking a cup of coffee can make us rejuvenated and recharge our body's energy. So, what determines the aroma, taste and flavor of a cup of coffee? In addition to the differences in coffee varieties and origins, the particle size of coffee powder is also very important.

There is a close relationship between the particle size of coffee powder and the taste of coffee. Generally speaking, finer coffee powder particles can increase the contact area between water and coffee powder, improve extraction efficiency, and make the coffee taste richer and mellower; while coarser coffee powder particles can reduce the contact time between water and coffee powder, reduce extraction efficiency, and make the coffee taste lighter and softer.

The laser particle size analyzer can obtain the particle size distribution data of coffee powder particles by measuring the scattered light intensity of coffee powder particles in the laser beam. This method has the advantages of fast measurement speed, high accuracy and good repeatability, and is currently one of the more commonly used methods for analyzing the particle size of coffee powder particles.

1. Optimize coffee grinding

Precisely control the degree of grinding: The laser particle size analyzer can quickly measure the particle size distribution of coffee powder (such as D50, D90), helping to determine the ideal grinding parameters for different brewing methods (espresso, hand brewing, French press, etc.), avoiding under-extraction or over-extraction caused by too coarse or too fine.

Consistency assurance: By monitoring the distribution of particles after grinding, we can ensure batch-to-batch stability, reduce human errors, and improve the repeatability of coffee flavor.

2. Improve baking process

Analyze roasted bean structure: Changes in the internal porosity of coffee beans during roasting will affect the grinding characteristics. Particle size analysis can quantify the impact of roasting degree on particle distribution, guide the adjustment of roasting curve (such as time, temperature), and optimize flavor development.

Detect defective beans: Uneven roasting or defective beans may lead to abnormal particle distribution, and the instrument can assist in screening unqualified batches.

3. Quality control and standardized production

Monitor production lines: Real-time detection of coffee powder or instant granules particle size to ensure compliance with corporate standards (such as particle size range, uniformity), and reduce scrap rates.

Manage supply chains: Objectively evaluate the grinding quality of coffee bean suppliers to avoid differences in raw materials affecting end products.

Coffee powder particle size analysis is an indispensable part of the coffee making process. By adjusting the particle size properly, we can control the degree of coffee extraction and taste to meet the taste requirements of different consumers.This time we recommend Winner3008 to test coffee.
