How to read these numbers
How to find zero
We have no sourced steps for finding zero on the Timemore C2. Zero is the setting where the burrs just touch, and the numbers above count from there. The maker's manual is the place to look for the steps.
Brew method fit. Steps of about 32 µm are coarse for espresso, and clicks below 6 risk dulling the burrs. Turkish sits in those risky clicks, and a 25 g load means a 1 litre filter machine batch takes three loads.
