C2
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.

The C2 is the predecessor to the C3 and remains the cheapest genuinely usable hand grinder. Its range covers filter and immersion adequately; expect more variation shot-to-shot than the C3, particularly at the fine end.
