In the V60, total brew time is more than a number — it's the visible consequence of everything you're doing right or wrong. Learn to read it as a diagnostic and adjust it with the right variable.
Grind size is the parameter with the greatest impact on moka extraction — more than heat, more than ratio. But it is not the espresso grind or the V60 grind: it has its own range. Understanding where that range is and how to detect when you have left it is the key to getting the best out of the Italian coffee maker.
In Cold Brew, grind matters — but not in the same way as in espresso or V60. Time dominates everything. Understanding grind's real role prevents the most common mistake: grinding too coarse under the false assumption it protects against over-extraction.
