    Difference Grades
Click For Summary
Granite is graded based on flatness tolerance, with grades ranging from 0 to 1. The discussion seeks to clarify whether there are additional differences in material properties among these grades beyond flatness. The original poster expresses a lack of familiarity with granite and difficulty finding relevant information. Participants are encouraged to provide insights or resources to address these questions. Understanding the distinctions in granite grades is essential for informed selection in applications.

I'm not familiar with the material, and I can't find any related information to solve my doubts.

I would really appreciate it if anyone could help to clear my doubt.

Thank you in advance!

Somewhat separate from the coffee advice of “buy whole beans, grind fresh at home daily”, I'm looking to understand the factors that contribute to purchased ground coffee losing freshness after opening (oxygen, humidity, temperature, time, other?). I'm assuming oxidation is the main factor, assuming normal room temperature and mid-range humidity. It appears (I'm having trouble finding good info on this) that a high quality modern pre-ground coffee is packaged in a way that maintains...
