- Are you struggling to 'DIAL IN' your COFFEE GRINDER? Scared to make a grind adjustment for fear of wasting coffee beans? Well here we hope to solve your problems and teach you how to adjust your coffee grinder so you are dosing the correct amount of coffee with the right grind size and making the best cup of coffee you can. In this video we use a MAZZER KONY grinder and GIOTTO ROCKET ESPRESSO MACHINE to teach you the process however you should be able to follow our method using whichever espresso machine and electronic coffee grinder that your're using.
One other piece of equipment that you'll need for the process is a small set of digital scales. We are using the ACAIA DIGITAL SCALES in our video which are great quality but they do have a more expensive price tag. You can actually buy scales that will do the job for less than $15.
We hope this video tutorial helps you make adjustments to your grinder and save you from wasting loads of coffee when you try to make a grind adjustment. If you have any questions please leave it in the comments below. Thanks for watching!

Great vid! But to get you closer to the desired timing and waste less coffee I always do it this way:
current weight / current grind time = grams per second then simply divide desired amount by the gr/s.
So in your case you got 25.1gr in 8s.
25.1 / 8 = 3.1375 gr/s
you want 22.5 gr. So:
22.5gr / 3.1375 = 7.17sec
Bit of math but considering coffee is like black gold it's well worth it! :)
Yes this works too!👍🏻
Man, that was by far and away the most clear and concise explanation of the best and fewest steps required to dial in your grind and grinder - Brilliant 👍
Thank you
Thank you so much for keeping this real. We know Instead of using this much coffee you could have just went over it in theory. However, seeing you actually do it is exactly why I always follow you guys. Cheers 🥂
You are so welcome! We are not a fan of being wasteful, but we like to demonstrate where we can.
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters thanks a lot for that
Well, I can afford the scales so that's a start
Yes joe, coffee gear adds up quickly. That’s what a goes into an Specality coffee, not a average coffee. Search for perfection if you can!
Just a note for people adjusting their grinders at home: you should always have your grinder running while making adjustments, especially when adjusting finer. You can damage a grinder by not doing this.
Yes thanks justice this is true, however you must hold the adjustment collar firm with your hands and ensure you understand how your locking but works. If the blades lock on a bean or large grind particle and jam your blades together and can damage the motor. We see this with new uses of grinders frequently. 👍🏻
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters cheers! Keep up the great work!
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters I recently picked up a Mazzer Mini. Just want to confirm - do i adjust the grind size while the motor is on or off? I have the safety screw in place. Also, just wondering the reason behind the safety screw. Is it to stop the machine catching and going finer/coarser, or just there for adjustment reference?
Wow ... every time you clear out the grinder, you throw away about $1 of coffee. Do you have to do the process whenever you change anything? It looks expensive to be a home barista.
Yes to make Specality coffee you have to ensure it is correct. Other wise it won’t taste as good as it should. Other grinders focus on less grind retention. Like a Mythos or EK43
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters or the niche zero!
What is the number range of the scale to make finer grounds for espresso? I’m also wondering why the grinder sometimes stopped working after adjusting the scale toward smaller number. What would be the correct way to adjust it? Btw, I have an older version Mazzer without the setup pad.
All grinders have a different number range. Mazzer grinders finer as per the video. If you don’t have the motor running the beans will clamp the blades together and will stop the grinder. If it still stuggeling to run then you need to change the capacitor inside the grinder.
Just bought my first grinder - a breville dose control pro. Even though it has a big hopper I’ve been leaving it empty and weighing out just the beans I need before grinding and manually stopping once I hear it’s empty. Is there anything wrong with doing this?
No. Not at all, it’s called grind to order and will give you zero waste and Grind change flexibility. 🤙🏻
Hi,
Really struggling to dail in my grinder. I am currently on the finest setting that allows my espresso machine to push water through without it stalling. I am trying to solve sour shots. I tried reducing puck size down from 18g to 15g to lower pressure and that worked but any less and tamping does not help. I read that you must not reduce puck size and MUST stick with puck that fits basket plus or minus 1g. latest is 15g in, 37g out, 30sec from first drip but still sour. Any advise?
What is the coffee? The age? The roast type, light medium or dark?
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters
country of origin: Nicaragua
region: Neuva Segovia
species: Arabica Yellow Catuaí
processing method: wet
height of cultivation: 1600 m above sea level
roast level: medium
flavor profile: notes of chocolate, citrus, caramel
acidity: balanced
Was roasted 24th of Feb 2021 but I was using it since 4th of Mar
Ok. So the coffee is fresh, it is only just starting to be ready to use. You can open the bag to air to speed this up or till 16 days since roast. being a single it will be lighter roast than medium, that’s a generic comment as most roasters who do singles will go lighter to bring up the fruity notes and it has higher acidity. I would stick to a 2-1 ratio. So 15g in the basket and 30g liquid in the cup. 30 sec is good for this, try going coarser, I know it sounds odd, but chasing fine grind can actually make it a very sloppy puck on the top and it all coffee like this. If you can adjust the water temp on your machine make it 94 degrees. It it’s lower it will be sour. Also you said 30 seconds from drip. How long is it from brew activation to drip? No more than 7 seconds any more and you will get sourness. If these do not help, I’m sorry to say it may be the roasting quality of the beans.
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters Thanks for the comments. I got a bottomless portafilter yesterday so I can investigate the basket and flow and it is beautiful. No channeling, perfect crema but still strong sour notes. I will try going coarser but extraction time might be to fast and that will for sure lean towards sourness, if I am not mistaken. Brew temp I cannot adjust but I have placed portafilter in boiling water as I read that this might also affect taste. Portafilter is aluminium and rather lightweight so heat is lost quickly. puck wetting is around the 5sec mark but it depends on my grindsize that causes it to jump between 3-4 sec to not at all. You are right that I might need to change supplier of beans. I just got a medium roast from them that is a little darker than current. This might help with sourness. Lets see.
@@fouriejosh dunno if you’ll read this but single origins are pretty hard to do well, esp light roasts. I bought some from my favourite coffee shop, and at 93 degrees it tasted like someone added vinegar to my shot. I took it all the way to 96 degrees and no sourness left. Grind size tends to be somewhat on the finer end, but if you hit 9 bars of pressure and it’s still sour, then it’s the water temp. Note that some low end machines don’t have adjustable water temp. I have a breville dual boiler which allows me to set the water temp. After I finished those beans I just bought a medium roasted mixed blend as that’s waaaaay easier to work with. Dropped it all the way back to 92 degrees and it tastes wonderful.
Does anyone know where I can get one of those plastic dosing cups in US?
See if this link helps you track one down: www.decor.com.au/stockists/international/
The product is called - Décor Go™Dip Tubs 6 Pack, 75ml
Good Luck!
Hello ! you know how I can reset the number of coffees in the menu;
In a mazzer electronic it’s in the cpu on the back of the touch pad, from memory 🤔
Use dry portafilter please!
Always! Dry and never full of water.
Sette 270WI solves the problem.
👍🏻
7 attempts with clear-outs in between and your 200g bag of expensive specialist single origin artisan beans is just an empty bag!
Yes, so buy a sinful dose grinder for high end coffee
Tedious video
Yes, we explain this very often, we wanted to to be clear and help people have a reference to share to their staff. 👍🏻
For someone as a beginner this video is a must as there is a lot to digest.
