Dial-in

Dial-in advice

Start at grind 28–28.5 with 18g → 39g (1:2.17 ratio) targeting a 25–27 second pull. This medium-dark blend should behave similarly to your best Métrica Ándale shots at grind 28, which hit balanced flavor with good flow. If the shot pulls faster than 25s or tastes sour, step finer by 0.5–1 increment; if slower than 27s or bitter, coarsen by 0.5–1 increment.
