  • Published adjustment movement: 15 µm.

The trade-off

Use the practical zero buffer and model-specific dial; do not transfer C3 or C5 ESP settings.

Before you buy or brew

  1. Use the practical zero buffer and model-specific dial; do not transfer C3 or C5 ESP settings.
  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.

Grind settings by brew method.

“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.
