  • External · 90 clicks / rotation adjustment.
  • Published adjustment movement: 22 µm.

The trade-off

Do not use a K-series chart simply because the dial has the same clicks per turn.

Before you buy or brew

  1. Do not use a K-series chart simply because the dial has the same clicks per turn.
  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.
