Grind settings, every brew method

Worked out from this grinder’s own dial curve — five reference points placed on a shared 0–100 grind index, interpolated with a monotone spline for conical burrs — rather than a one-size-fits-all chart.

A larger burr set than the J series and correspondingly faster, aimed squarely at espresso with enough range to reach filter. Its click resolution near the fine end is the reason to own it.
