The trade-off

X-series rotation notation has six numbered positions, unlike the ten-number K-Ultra.

Before you buy or brew

  1. X-series rotation notation has six numbered positions, unlike the ten-number K-Ultra.
  2. Use the exact model and burr revision when reading a grind chart.
  3. Check the dose fits the chamber and that hand grinding suits your routine.

“No verified setting” does not by itself mean a method is impossible. It means we have not established a published value for the exact model. Do not interpret burr movement in microns as coffee particle size.
