CBM-18

Grind settings by 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.

Dial range: 1 – 18
Burrs: Conical
Filter reference: 3.1
Espresso → filter: 2.1 numbers
