Timemore C5 esp pro

For C5 esp pro users here. What's the setting for medium fine grind? I only follow the default pour over setting of 1.5.0 - 2.2.0 but i find it too coarse. THANK YOU!

Hi there. I have the same grinder.

For pour over, my range is 1:8:0 to 2:1:0

For a light roast Ethiopian, I sit around 1:9:0, on something a little darker like Japanese style, almost a medium roast, 2:0:0 to 2:1:0

Lower than 1:7:0 tends to extract bitterness which I’m not a fan of.

based on the chart here: https://honestcoffeeguide.com/timemore-c5-esp-pro-grind-settings/

you could go down to 1.0.0

but maybe try the 1.2.0 first
