Fines , however you define them 

 

are just smaller bits of bean.

 

French Presses  ( made in FR )   sold in USA

 

used to include a very fine nylon mesh 

 

that pretty much eliminated the smaller fines , ie fin sediment in your cup

 

those same brands , made in France , sold in France , do not include that

 

some fines are thought to be desirable in a cup in France.

 

if you are getting too many times w your burr grinder 

 

you should consider getting a  better burr grinder.

 

check to see if your FP  has that nylon screen .

Boded used to include the nylon screen in USA , and not FR.

 

its a matter of degree of fines , and ones interest in eliminating them.

 

fines are just coffee that's a bit over extracted , based on whatever extraction method you use.

 

I doubt commercially they are purposely eliminated .

 

but back to your question :

 

don't know of any commercial sifting of ground coffee to eliminate fines.
