1Zpresso K-Ultra: espresso grind setting
Start at 35 clicks from zero for a medium roast. Finer is fewer clicks.
Where to start
- Light roast: 33 clicks from zero. Medium: 35 clicks from zero. Dark: 37 clicks from zero.
- Usual espresso range: 24 to 49 (clicks from zero).
- One small step: 1 clicks from zero, about [object Object] µm of burr movement.
- Zero point: Zero is where the handle starts to turn with resistance (1Zpresso).
- At 20 µm per click the K-Ultra is coarser-stepped than the J series: fine-tune between clicks with the yield.
The light and dark starting points are two small steps either side of the medium one: our rule of thumb, not the maker's.
