Grind setting with Breville smart grinder pro?
Looking for Breville Smart Grinder Pro pros!
Here are the settings I use:
-
for espresso: 6 - 8
-
for aeropress: 6-10 (lighter roasts closer to 6, medium - 10, otherwise I find my coffee underextracted using the inverted method)
-
for turkish: 1 (it's good enough, but my turkish hand grinder still produces much finer grind and thus better coffee)
-
for french press: 60 (just make sure total extraction time is around 6 minutes)
I do 1:16 ratio for french press (6 minute brew time), and I prefer 1:3.25 for espresso (I guess, that theoretically makes it a lungo).
Never measured the ratio for aeropress. But it's 16g coffee with aeropress filled to the top with water, and 1.5 minutes brew time.

I'm interested in this as I have the same grinder and a buildup of fines most likely from a worn impeller. Could you keep us updated on how/if you get the impeller repaired?
