DBM-8 Supreme
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.

An inexpensive burr grinder sold in very large numbers, and much better than a blade grinder while well short of a dedicated coffee grinder. Reasonable for drip and French press; the fine end is not consistent enough for espresso.
