Whole Bean Grind Chart
If you are purchasing a bag of whole bean coffee on our website, you can select your grind method of choice (at no extra charge!) from the dropdown and we will grind and ship it to you. We grind the beans freshly for you at our warehouse in ECS Coffee Burlington right before your order is shipped, and reseal the package to maintain optimal freshness in transit.
If you are visiting us in store, you can also request for your beans to be ground in store before you take them home.
We use a commercial BUNN Burr Grinder to grind the beans.
Please note: Freshly ground coffee is non-refundable and not returnable. To ensure that you receive a ground coffee that is consistent with your brew method of choice, refer to our Grind Chart below!
FINE |
For use with espresso machines. Fine coffee grinds will have the size and feel of sand. |
MEDIUM FINE |
Choose a medium fine grind if you are brewing with a Moka Pot, stovetop espresso brewers or an Aeropress. |
MEDIUM |
Cone Filter - We use two medium settings depending on your brewer. The Cone Filter medium setting is a bit finer, and is suitable for pour-over drip brewers (cone style) such as Hario, Melitta, Clever. It is also used for cone style automatic brewers. Flat Bottom Filter - This setting is suitable for coffee machines with a flat bottom basket filter, such as commercial automatic drip machines. It is also an appropriate setting for if you have a refillable coffee capsule for use in Keurig® machines. Medium coffee grinds will be around the same size as sea salt. |
PERCOLATOR |
If you are brewing with a percolator, the grind setting is a bit coarser than your standard medium grind, to minimize grinds making it through the filter. We use a percolator-specific setting on our grinder. |
MEDIUM COARSE |
Vaccuum brewers, Chemex. |
COARSE |
For french press, cold brew coffee. A coarse grind is very chunky in look, like crushed peppercorns. |
Remember that this coffee grind chart is a guideline! If you use a coffee brewing method that is not listed here, feel free to reach out and we will let you know which grind is the best for your brewer.

Customer Reviews
I love this roast, it works well for my super auto espresso machine, although it is a bit pricey. Please consider selling it in a larger package.
Fantastic people, shop and coffee! Had a nice trip in Toronto this past summer to see some relatives and in crossing the border I fully planned on stopping by a few of Canada‘s awesome espresso machine showrooms since those are harder to find in my area in person. The staff here was super friendly and they had a great selection of grinders and espresso machines to finally play around with. John was super helpful and explaining some of the options and even did a demonstration for me of a grinder I was looking at and the grinder I owned so I could see how the same coffee performed on the same machine but with two different grinders. The difference was compelling and resolved to buy the new grinder!
The biggest surprise at the shop though was their coffee! Described my ideal espresso profile to John and he found my new favorite coffee: I.XXI Great Scott espresso!
I really love a true Italian, traditional espresso but without having to suffer through older beans from the big mass producers. This has a wonderful blend of a and 20% robusta and after I got back home to Boston I compared it against several fresh bags of beans nearby and they all just have too much acidity and floral notes to them.
This espresso however from ECS tastes perfectly chocolatey without being funky or stale or too burnt and works just as well by itself as it does in a cortado. And with my order I could see that it was roasted freshly right then and there.Until I find something else comparable nearby I’ll simply have to continue to order this in a subscription from ECS!
Keep up the great work ☕️
Always have my Great Scott on hand. Have tried and enjoyed others but Great Scott's my Go-To.
I've been buying this bean for many years. It is always on my monthly order. It's the one you like to wake up to. Full bodied with no bitterness
Like the coffee but not a fan of the new bag design. Used to be an air tight version and now it’s not.
