@@KristinesLife-po3fcVery helpful video. Would 54 clicks work for French Press? Would it be maybe 40 clicks for espresso? I have medium dark roast beans. Thanks!
@@Ally-p5b9u In our experience, 50 is too fine for a french press. I'm closer to 100 click mark or more if you're using a dark roast. For espresso, between 30-35 clicks.
You are supposed to take off the large black o-ring and add the tiny white one for hand grinding. Then the lid will come off with the handle like any other hand grinder. The grinder is delivered with the "power tool" o-ring installed as default (the black one) which is a bit strange as it is a bit more niche.
@@SoloAirBiscuitI’m on this video because the manual that came with the grinder is 2 pages long and contains barely any information. Is there a longer manual out there?
Looks like they want you to brush some of the fines onto your face. Maybe for a nice shadow under your cheekbones? LOL Your fiancé is good demonstrator. I watched a ton of videos on this grinder before I ordered one. All the rest were from coffee professionals - mostly influencers with a staff and budget to make videos. This vid is my favorite for actually getting a sense of using the grinder to brew coffee. Good communication portends a good life together. Good luck! 🤵👰💒
Thanks for the feedback! He really knows his stuff with coffee.. and I'm more than happy to be behind the camera - especially when he can do all of this in one take...that's not me LOL.
We've never tried to recalibrate the starting point nor have I ever found any information how to do it. Instead, I just keep in mind where my starting point is and adjust accordingly. For example, my starting point is -4, so if someone tells me a recipe the grind size of 30, I know to make mine at 26.
@@KristinesLife-po3fcdue to the variability in their own grinders zero offset, bean freshness, humidity, grind speed, and etc, you'll still need to dial in a coffee yourself and won't be able to reproduce their recipe from the same grind size number. Although it might help in giving you a closer starting point to dial in from. Unless you're using a grinder that's/can be calibrated to a zero point and built with precision tolerances, grind size numbers won't be interchangeable between grinders. High end flat burr grinders typically have this capability and build but not all do. Like the df54 and 64 aren't calibrated from factory to zero but can be with shims or foil and rotating the measurement sticker. But even then, with the grinders having exactly the same grind size particles, it may still require adjustment from the other variables at play. I wouldn't really worry about it too much with conical burrs anyway. Just go about dialing in with what tastes best for you and gets you the extraction you're looking for.
I got mine a couple days ago and I love it! Great video ~
@@DekuNick happy you like it!
Just bought one. So far, quite happy with how it works. It also has a nice premium build.
Glad you're enjoying it!

@KristinesLife-po3fc Thank you, Kristine! Much appreciate your reply. I will try your suggestion 😊 Cheers!

Reading the manual is hard, uploading a video is easy
Yeah you're right. But it's a pain to take the o-ring off and it works just fine without it.

@@SaltedYolkCheeseFoam you might try searching on tiktok for other videos of ppl using the grinder.

Me looking for comments regarding calibration back to 0

@KristinesLife-po3fc thank you ❤️
Kingrinder says that past 0 point there’s no burrs movement so you don’t need to count the negative clicks. Try open the grinder and see for yourself.

It will handle 30 grams of Joe Coffee's Daily...Just an FYI
Good to know - thanks!
Thanks Kristine
