That’s the problem. I didn’t note the starting point of those 3 places. 😁
The thing is how does one arrive at the optimum starting point without tweaking the bezel ring? Don’t think it is possible. Happy to be corrected!
Niche didn’t identify optimum upper burrs position for filter. Either they thought it doesn’t matter for filter as the grind is anyway coarser or it’s not possible without changing the bezel ring (if required) or optimum setting for espresso means optimum for filter or for any unknown reasons. That’s why there are neither stickers nor instructions. It’s configured for espresso as most of the interest lies here.
If some one were to just buy the filter burrs, they can reconfigure for filter using the espresso config. In the case of both burrs, I don’t think we can do both burrs. The users will have to choose either, which in most cases it will be espresso for obvious reasons.
Hope, I am explaining this properly. Sorry, if I am not using the proper technical terms.
Let’s say, points 1, 2, 3 are three dots. For points 1 and 2, the burrs chirp above 0; we do not make any changes, unless we have noted where the start of the upper burrs in the case of a filter. We do not know this as filter burrs was never mounted in the first place for those who buy both burrs.
For point 3, the burrs chirp below the 0 point. This requires two things, IMO, moving the black bezel ring to 0 and noting the optimum upper burrs position point 3. Only then, I think, you have arrived at the optimum upper burrs as a default starting point. Moving the bezel ring requires loosening the red nut. We don’t want that, do we?😁.
If we can’t do both, we don’t have an optimum upper position for filter. One might perhaps be getting an approximation to get a relative grind reference for Kruve based grinding and not a true grind reference.
One might ask, does it matter? Can you tell a difference? I shall leave the answers to readers’ imagination.
In short, I will start all over again, after contacting Niche for ideas, if any. Until I figure this out, I am going to save the expensive beans.
Hope this doesn’t ruffle some feathers here!
Have a good evening every one. 😊
