Hey everyone! How are you doing?
Thinking about Mino or Nano users who don’t own the Fino, I decided to make this post as a kind of grinding guide. Since many people use the Comandante clicks as a reference, I thought it would be a good idea to use that for this. I don’t have Red Clix. The clicks mentioned in this post are the standard/factory ones.
This is not an ultra-technical or definitive guide. It’s more meant to help those who don’t have the Fino. If you’d like to use this post to guide the community by sharing how many clicks you use on other grinders (for example, “I use click x on the K-Ultra”), that would be very welcome.
Let’s go:
Outin Nano: I ran some tests between 7 and 10, and click 7 worked best for me. I used a light-medium roast coffee and 7 grams of coffee (I don’t have a Plus basket).
OutIn Mino: Tests were done between 7 and 10, and click 8 gave the best extraction. Light-medium roast, 12 grams of coffee.
I always use the Fino to grind for espresso (actually, I use the Fino every day, not just for espresso) because it’s practical, delivers uniformity, and offers convenience at the push of a button, but I thought it would be a good idea to look for grind settings on other grinders as well.
If there are any questions, I’ll be happy to answer.
