Pietro M-Modal Grind Settings

The recommended settings on Pietro M-Modal (ProBrewing burrs) for Hario V60 and other pour-over methods like Origami, Hario Switch or Kalita Wave is between 6.5-9.0. Start at 7.5 for a baseline and adjust finer if your brew tastes weak or watery, or coarser if it tastes bitter or over-extracted.

What our users say
I find it’s especially good for giving me a starting point when roasters give their recommended grind size for machines like the EK43. Appreciate the work you’ve done
It’s a lot more helpful than some people in the forums who would rather lecture about how even the same branded grinders and beans vary, instead of simply saying what setting they’re using so new users have a reference point to start from.
I converted the grind size from my Varia EVO Hybrid to my new Timemore Sculptor 078S this morning for my V60 recipe, and it was delicious.
I lost count of how many times I’ve looked for grinder conversions, even if approximate and geometry is different, having a ballpark within a few clicks when testing a recipe someone loves is amazing.
I love that I can convert microns into clicks for each grinder! Thank you for what you do.
This is great. Just getting into this coffee grinding thing, and most of the recipes declare the grind size by the hallowed Comandante C40. And you’ve got my 1Zpresso Q there. Sorted.
Seems quite good between my j ultra and df54. I think it will help lots of people with general ballpark calculations.
