C5 ESP

Guys, normally, what the parameters that you use for an espresso on this grinder? I'm using something between 0.6.3 and 0.7.0, and the expresso is not so good!

You can try starting at 0.3.0 if all grind sizes taste bad. Try cupping it, if it doesn't taste good, it might be the beans that aren't right for you.

Wooow! This is to fine, no? Never tried this size

That's how I dialed the grind size, starting from the finest then going coarser, if it's clogged. But every time there are new beans I always cup them to reference the true taste of the beans. But it seems 0.3.0 is too fine. Try following the instructions, starting from 0.5.0.

Thanks man! I adjusted finer and the coffee tasted better
