Many coffee manufacturers control the grinding of coffee beans using the laser diffraction technique. We will outline the history of coffee manufacture and the influence particle size has on dissolution and thus taste of the brewed material. We will be revealing details of a new dry powder accessory for the Mastersizer 3000 that allows significantly more sample volume to be measured and is thus advantageous for ground coffee measurement where the top end size may exceed 3 mm or so. We will also briefly explain the top end size in the context of sampling reference specifically to coffee.
