Dial-in

Dial-in advice

Your best previous result with this bean was at grind 38 with a 1:2.0 ratio (18.8g→37.3g, 35-41s range), hitting balanced notes with chocolate character. Start there: 18.5g dose, grind 38, targeting 1:2.0 ratio (37g output) in 35-40 seconds. If the shot pulls too fast or tastes sour, step finer to 37, then 36; if too slow or bitter, step coarser to 39, then 40—adjust 1-1.5 settings at a time since you're already dialed close.
