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 linearly for flat burrs — rather than a one-size-fits-all chart.

A commercial-grade burr set in a domestic body, geared toward brew rather than espresso as the BG designation implies. Very consistent across the filter range; the fine end is present but not where this grinder earns its keep.
