| 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 |

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.
