… is not your grind size.
A typical mistake when adjusting a coffee grinder: The numerical settings of one grinder are transferred to another of the same type. Unfortunately, the coffee doesn't extract the same amount of ground coffee. I explain the reason for this with Michel Aeschbacher in this video.
If two friends buy the same mill and one says to the other:
“The coffee tastes particularly good at grind level 4!” Then the 4 is on one person’s grinder, maybe grind level 5 on another person’s grinder.
This is because the grinding discs are not evenly spaced from the factory. A mill is also repeatedly adjusted over the course of its life, which shifts the basic setting.
Therefore, it's important to find the right grinding level for each grinder. We show you how to do this in this video on adjusting your grinder .
