I'm approximating, of course; but I guess I try to shoot for something fairly coarse, perhaps .5mm in size? What say you? Its probably a tad finer than that, you invariably get some powder, but I usually set the size for pour over as 'fine as possible' until I get a little bitterness in the cup, then go one coarser... is that what you guys do? but its tough to quantify the size... I grind to a size that gives a 4-5 minute brew time (including a 30-45 second steep period). I steep until the bloom starts to collapse which is different with each origin, then 3.5 to 4.5 minutes of brew time. I've found that each pour over filter requires a bit of a tweak to the grinder settings to stay within this time frame. . Mick - "Drinking in life one cup at a time"
