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.

Sits above the C-series with better burrs and a more solid feel. Its useful range genuinely extends further toward espresso than the C3, though a dedicated espresso grinder will still out-resolve it.
