A very fast-flowing espresso is coarsely ground, and a very fine-flowing or even dripping espresso is finely ground.
An espresso grind is a very finely ground coffee, like powdered sugar. To make an espresso coffee, water is heated and pushed through ground coffee at a really high pressure.
The fine grind is your standard size for pre-ground coffee and is about the size of granulated sugar. Use this size when making espresso or an Aeropress with a one to two minute brew time. You'll also want to grind medium-fine when using a Moka pot.
WHAT MAKES ESPRESSO DIFFERENT FROM COFFEE? Espresso is thicker and more intense than coffee because of the lower grounds to water ratio, the finer grind, and the pressurized brewing method. Regular coffee uses a coarser grind, more water and gravity to extract the final brew.
Fine Ground
Finely ground beans mean the coffee grinds are, well, fine, and packed more closely. Water can take longer to pass through all the grounds and, as a result, extract more of the flavour.

Turkish coffee grounds are actually finer than espresso coffee grounds, resulting in a flavor that won't quite taste right when put into your portafilter. Overly fine coffee grounds in an espresso machine will be overexracted: this is another way of saying they'll taste sour or tight.
A medium grind is likely the most common grind setting, as it works well in most standard drip pots like Mr. Coffee or Bunn. The medium-fine grind seems to be popular for the pour over cone brewing method.
You'll be happy to know regular pre ground coffee can be used for an espresso machine, provided it has the right fine grind. Many coffee drinkers also prefer to use dark roasted coffee due to its stronger flavor.
The difference between espresso and coffee comes down to the way they are prepared, rather than the actual beans. In general, espresso beans are roasted for a long time (dark roast), have a fine grind and require high pressure to create an ounce or two of concentrated coffee.
With years of experience evaluating coffee quality in coffee shops and restaurants, one brewing error pops up more than others: The grind is too coarse, resulting in an under-extracted, not-so-great shot of espresso.
Medium grind
This kind of grinding is not suitable for the extraction of espresso because it would give an under-extracted and tasteless result.
The most obvious differences between filter coffee and espresso are in the fineness of their grinds and in their brewing times. Filter coffee has a coarser ground and is brewed for a longer time at a lower temperature. Espresso has a very fine ground and is exposed to hotter water for a much shorter period of time.
Turkish coffee is a method of coffee preparation that originated in Middle Eastern and European countries, including Turkey, Iran and Greece. It's made by combining finely ground coffee beans with water (and often sugar) and bringing the liquid to a frothy foaming stage, just below boiling.
For espresso brewing, you need to use a fine grind setting; so the ground particles will be around 1/32 of an inch, or 0.8 mm. Although this exact value can vary with different coffee beans, as well as between different espresso makers.
An espresso grind is typically much finer than other types of coffee grinds. This is because the process of making espresso requires hot water being pushed through tightly packed grounds.
All coffee can be used for an espresso machine, provided it has the right fine grind. That said, many prefer to use dark roasted coffee due to its stronger flavor. In fact, you can sometimes find coffee labelled 'espresso' due to its darker roast.
Common espresso drinks: Without dairy include: Espresso (single), Doppio, Ristretto, Lungo, Americano, Con Hielo, or Rocket (aka Shot in the Dark, Red Eye, or Black Eye). With dairy include: Macchiato, Crème, Noisette, Cortado, Cappuccino, Breve, Mocha, Affogato, Viennois, Con Panna, Flat White or Latte.
Expert Tip: Look for a Flat Burr Grinder — Espresso aficionados opt for a flat burr grinder. Burr grinders are available in either conical or flat burrs.
Turkish brew gets its bold, rich flavor from very finely ground coffee beans. Turkish coffee is one of the oldest ways to brew and the distinctive taste comes from its dust-like grounds. Just any coffee grinder won't do, because a Turkish extra fine grind is even finer than an espresso grind.
The more finely ground the beans, the more caffeine is released into the water. So it's safe to say that when it comes to caffeination, a finer grind does result in stronger coffee, while a coarser grind will always brew a weaker cup.
When your coffee tastes bitter, your grind size may be too fine. This is because finer coffee particles extract flavors and organic compounds quicker. It takes far less time for the water to saturate smaller coffee particles than larger ones.
Generally it's agreed that per drop, espresso wins on caffeine. A typical shot of espresso is about an ounce and has 30-50mg of caffeine. A cup of Turkish is about two ounces and usually has around 65mg of caffeine. Bump that espresso to a double and it's pushing 100mg.
If you like a strong coffee but with a smoother taste, then Turkish coffee is the right choice for you. If you prefer intense, more bitter drinks balanced with acidity, then espresso is the better option. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide which drink you like best!
Turkish Coffee = Extra Fine. French Press = Coarse. Espresso = Fine. AeroPress = Medium, Medium-fine or Fine with adjusted brewing times.
