| Starting Setting | 20 | 20 | 10A | 5.25 | 8.25 | 8.25 |
| Half-batch (20oz) Dose | 35 grams (7 level tablespoons of ground coffee) | 35 grams (7 level tablespoons of ground coffee) | 35 grams (7 level tablespoons of ground coffee) | 35 grams (7 level tablespoons of ground coffee) | 35 grams (7 level tablespoons of ground coffee) | 35 grams (7 level tablespoons of ground coffee) |

| If your coffee is tasting sour | Adjust finer - try settings 18-19 | Adjust finer - try settings 18-19 | Adjust finer - try settings 9L | Adjust finer - try settings 5 | Adjust finer - try settings 8 | Adjust finer - try settings 8 |
| If your coffee is tasting bitter or astringent | Adjust coarser - try settings 21-22 | Adjust coarser - try settings 21-22 | Adjust coarser - try settings 10L | Adjust coarser - try settings 7 | Adjust coarser - try settings 8.6 | Adjust coarser - try settings 8.6 |
If you have another grinder, your ground coffee should be about the same size as sugar-in-the-raw. This will usually fall in the middle range. Also, If your coffee is tasting very sour, try adjusting your grind finer. If it’s tasting dry or astringent, adjust your grind a little coarser. If you need help - just call us.
