Monolith Flat Max
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.

The large flat-burr Monolith, built for clarity rather than body. Its resolution is very fine in absolute terms but the dial is unmarked in any standardised way — your own reference marks matter more here than anyone else's numbers.
