Starting Grind Settings Chart
Starting Grind Settings Chart
I'm wondering if we should start a sticky post which contains everyone's collection of Bean/Grinder+Setting/Brew method information as a reference. It's always good to have a nice starting point.
I will update as comments come up.
| Bean | Grinder | Settings | Brew |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speckled Ax - Early Bird | Encore ESP | 20 | Aeropress 11g - 200ml |
| Speckled Ax - Bird Dog Espresso | Encore ESP | 23 | Aeropress 11g - 200ml |
| Speckled Ax - Early Bird | Encore ESP | 21 | V60 15g - 280ml |
| Light Roast | Fellow Opus | 4.5 | Moka Pot |
| All | Encore | 16 | V60 |
| Light Roast | Encore | 18 | Chemex - 1 cup |
| Light Roast | Encore | 20 | Chemex 32g - 2 cups |
| Light Roast | Encore | 22 | Chemex - 3 cups |
| All | Jaffee J1 | 30 clicks | Switch 20g - 300ml |
Here's how to make a table on Lemmy, you were close!

Neat. I don't vary my grinder settings normally. Fellow Opus 4.5 Moka Pot
Even for different roasts? I haven't tried moka pot yet.
I don't generally vary roasts much. Mainly light roasts but the occasional light/medium or medium.
With my hand grinder at the office, I will change the adjustment for beans that produce more fines like an Ethiopian.
For my V60 pourovers I mostly set my Encore to 16, sometimes varying by +/- 2 for different beans at different ages.
I think this is neat idea, but some days I'll just vary it based on what I'm feeling, nevermind any fixed variable, so I personally just like knowing the starting point to play with for different grinders/brew methods.
Thanks for starting this. I almost exclusively brew light roasts via Chemex. I'll vary my grind slightly depending on how many cups I'm making, but for my standard two cup (32g of beans) recipe: 20 on Encore for Chemex.
When making one cup I'll use ~18, and for three cups I'll use ~22.
I guess we should add grams and cup information to the chart
Awesome idea!
Maybe we can do another post for preferred brew methods as well.
I found this site as well for a good point of reference for starting my V60 journey: Coffee Grind Chart
Formatting of link was off. I was going to recommend the exact same site
