Dial In Tips

• Shot runs too fast (under 25 seconds): Grind finer.
  
  
• Shot runs too slow (over 32 seconds): Grind coarser.
  
  
• Sour or sharp cup: Grind slightly finer or extend extraction by 1–2 seconds.
  
  
• Bitter or dry cup: Grind slightly coarser or stop the shot earlier (around 38 g).
