Dial-in

Dial-in advice

Start at grind 39–40.5 with an 18–19g dose, aiming for a 1:2.1 ratio (~38g output). This bean has performed best in your previous shots at these exact settings. Pull your first shot and aim for 25–30 seconds; if it's sour or channeling, move coarser to 40.5–41, or if it's bitter and sluggish, step finer to 38–39 in 0.5 increments until the melon and chocolate notes balance.
