Bar chart of particle size standard deviation (0 to 600) for double ground and single ground coffee at coarse and fine settings, three test series each; the double ground bars are lower in both. Text: When comparing the standard deviation of particle sizes between the single and [RE]ground coffee, the [RE]ground coffee consistently showed a lower standard deviation in particle size. Specifically the coarse ground coffee averaged a 31% lower standard deviation at 355.5 µm and the fine ground coffee averaged a 48% lower standard deviation at 260.7 µm. Cafe standard Mahlkonig grinders with high uniformity burrs and a fine grind, for example, have an average particle standard deviation of 239 µm.
