C40 MK3
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.

Mechanically close to the MK4 and dialled almost identically — the MK4 changed the axle and bearing rather than the grind geometry. Recipes quoting MK4 clicks transfer to the MK3 essentially unchanged.
