This is the Master Grind Guide where I have logged every bag of beans I have tried, dialled in and rated on (and off) Coffee Log. I hope this helps you dial in your next coffee and smooths your coffee experience.
Espresso:
The equipment I usually use is a Gaggia Classic Pro E24 (with a 9 bar modification) and the DF54 Grinder.
