Hand Grinder

Grinder

Notes

Hand grinder with ceramic burrs and 40 adjustment steps, 30 g hopper, per the product listing. Brand on the listing is CEVING.

Claude could not open the listing link, so the specs above came from the listing text I pasted.

Step 0 is the finest setting. French press starting point is setting 30, a guess to verify by eye. The grounds should look like coarse sea salt.

Settings that worked: none logged yet.

Not recorded. I added milk after pressing.

The grind was the finest setting, which is too fine for French press. Predicted result, not tasted notes: bitter and muddy from over-extraction.

Grind coarser. Nothing else changes.

Approximate, from memory.
