April Grind Sizes

Hello everyone and thanks for your patience.

With the office move, we had a bit of a delay finalising our coffee profiles for this month, but fear not, here they are.

A couple of points to note - we have fixed the EK43 (hurray) but we are using slightly different water this month, which may have a slight effect on the extraction numbers compared to last month.

This month, the coffee profiles span a wide range from Extra Fine to Coarse... and everywhere in between.

First up we have the Steampunk Peru, which is the lightest roast of all the coffee this month.  We found it worked best on Espresso at EK2.0 (which just sneaks into the Medium range) and on Filter we went with EK3.4 (Extra Fine).

Alongside we have the Shiloh Burundi and this coffee sits nicely in the Medium range on Espresso (EK2.3) and the coarser side of Fine on Filter (EK 3.8).

The Carringtons Uganda worked very similarly to the Shiloh and we found it worked nicely at EK2.3 on Espresso (Medium) and slightly coarser at EK3.9 on Filter (again, coarse end of Fine).

Finally we have the Doe and Fawn Ethiopia which is the darkest of the roasts this month and we went with a grind of EK2.5 on Espresso (Coarse, almost Extra Coarse) and 4.3 on Filter (again, Coarse).

We hope you enjoy the coffee this month.

I use a Wilfa uniform, but maybe the most universal thing is to provide the grind in microns and then people can do the conversion, using the honest coffee website that someone mentioned in a comment. Like others, I can’t really do anything with the EK settings.

I use a Sage Barista Pro for espresso and a Knock Aergrind for aeropress when I’m travelling

— Ant M

I’m also using a Fellow Ode 2 grinder. Please please please make a comparable grind settings reference, that would be amazing!

I was literally just trying to do it myself. I found this website (https://honestcoffeeguide.com/coffee-grind-size-chart/) where you can input the grinder model and see a chart, but I can’t quite make sense of the EK43 settings. I’m not sure they line up…

Thank you very much! I’m already enjoying the Peruvian from Steampunk.

I was just wondering if you had any grind size or brewing recommendations for the robusta sample generously included this month? I’m keen to give it a go but don’t know anything about where to start…

— Leon

I use a Specialita!

— Kyle M

Could this site be used to get the grind suze in microns for each EK43 setting and then look up the eqivalent in their grinder. All popular grinders are there. https://honestcoffeeguide.com/coffee-grind-size-chart/
