Grind Size Adjustment:

The grind size is adjusted by rotating the bean hopper. The numbers on the hopper indicate the grind setting, with lower numbers corresponding to finer grinds (espresso) and higher numbers to coarser grinds (French press, pour over). The range from 1-20 provides fine adjustments for espresso, while 21-40 offers broader steps for other brewing methods.
