Why shortlist it

  • Hand-powered operation for a compact, unplugged setup.
  • Internal stepped adjustment.

The trade-off

Confirm the exact regional revision and dial; adjacent model names do not share one setting chart.

Before you buy or brew

  1. Confirm the exact regional revision and dial; adjacent model names do not share one setting chart.
  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.
