Q: I bought my coffee-loving mom the Krups Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, but she’s had problems getting a good brew with fresh ground beans. She has had equally poor results with Metropolis, very old Kona beans from the freezer and store brand coffee, even with double the amount of coffee she uses with pre-ground. She also replaced her very old basic drip Mr. Coffee with a newer version to no avail.
Do you know why this might be happening? Should she be aiming for very coarse or very fine grounds? Or is the low-budget coffee maker the problem? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
