Unscrew the bottom of the grinder. Inside is a circular disk with numbers showing the grind settings.

1. 1. Rotate right, toward the fine setting until it stops
2. 2. Rotate back left, toward coarse, until you hit 1
3. 3. Your grinder is calibrated

Brew ratios

For the best results, I would recommend a kitchen scale. The brewing method outlined below is based on the fantastic James Hoffman V60 method and brew ratios.

• 1. Start with 15g of coffee for every 250ml of boiling water
• 2. Grind your beans and add it to your brewer
• 3. For pour-over or french-press, add 50mm of hot water and let your coffee “bloom” (if your coffee is fresh you’ll see bubbles form)
• 4. Gently pour in the rest of your 200ml of hot water
• 5. Taste the coffee, refer to our “Dialing it in” guide below to fine-tune your brew

Dialing it in

The coffee is not very good

Too bitter or too strong
Use a coarser grind size and use more water

Very sour
Use a finer grind size and use less water

Watery / thin tasting
Use a finer grind and use more coffee

The coffee is good but could be better

The coffee is very rich / thick / heavy
<- Go left one or two clicks coarser 
Keep the water to coffee ratio where it is

The coffee is too delicate / nuanced
-> Go right one or two clicks finer 
Keep the water to coffee ratio where it is

Grinder care

Your grinder does not need to be washed or cleaned. 

If you think that’s gross, that’s OK! Clean your grinder by gently tapping it on the side or buy a (new!) paint brush and dust your grinder with it. Do NOT wash it. You’ll remove the grease that keeps the movements smooth. 

Do NOT store ground coffee inside the grinder. Air will quickly make your coffee bitter and sour.
