Grind espresso on a Turin DF64 Gen 2 between 0 and 20 on the dial, per Honest Coffee Guide's compiled DF64 Gen 2 chart. Start near the middle of that band and creep finer as the beans age; the dial is stepless, so treat the numbers as landmarks rather than clicks.
Turin DF64 Gen 2 grind settings by brew method
| Brew method | Turin DF64 Gen 2 setting |
|---|---|
| Espresso | 0 to 20 [1] |
| Pour over | 24 to 77 (V60 at 23 to 53) [1] |
| AeroPress | 15 to 80 [1] |
| Moka pot | 19 to 49 [1] |
| French press | 53 to 90 [1] |
| Cold brew | 65 to 90 [1] |
Every numbered range above was checked against the source in the footnote it carries; where a manufacturer publishes nothing for a method, the row says so instead of inventing a number. Ranges are windows, not verdicts. Beans, roast age, and dose move the right setting inside each window, which is why the dial-in ladder below matters more than any single number.
How the Turin DF64 Gen 2 adjustment works
The Turin DF64 Gen 2 uses a stepless adjustment dial numbered from 0 (finest) up past 90; Honest Coffee Guide charts the working window at 180 to 1050 microns. The same grinder ships under several labels (MiiCoffee, G-IOTA, Solo) with the same dial. Find your zero before trusting any chart: with the hopper empty, tighten toward fine until the burrs just touch, call that zero, and count from there. If your zero point is calibrated differently from the chart's, every range shifts by the difference, which explains most "the chart is wrong" complaints.
Dial it in from the chart in 3 steps
1. Set the middle of the espresso range above and brew once, changing nothing else. 2. Taste against the two failure directions: sour, thin, or fast means grind finer; bitter, harsh, or stalled means grind coarser. The full logic lives in why espresso runs sour and why it runs bitter. 3. Move in small steps, one variable at a time, and write each attempt down; the free dial-in logbook exists for exactly this, and the printable dial-in cheat sheet keeps the correction table next to the machine.
