Grind Setting Tutorial for 1Zpresso Grinders
Grind Setting Tutorial for 1Zpresso (Easy-presso) Grinders
Greetings, fellow coffee-lover.
This tutorial allows you to learn how to read the 1Zpresso grind setting reference.
The 1Zpresso team calibrated all the burrs in the grinders to ensure maximum stability over time, as a result, the outer ring and the burr were built through precision finishing so tolerance was expected as the first few clicks of the outer ring and the burr would touch. Most importantly, the constant touching might damage the burr set.
In this tutorial, we wish the user understand the 1Zpresso grind setting for different adjustment designs. Firstly, we define the zero setting of the 1Zpresso grinders and teach you how to find the zero setting. Moreover, a little chart allows the user to understand the 1Zpresso adjustment design difference. Secondly, it is the grind setting tutorial for the internal adjustment design (Q2 & JX & JE grinder). Thirdly, it is the grind setting tutorial for the top adjustment design (JX-Pro & JE-Plus grinder). The last parts are the grind setting tutorials for the external adjustment design (J-Max & K-Pro & K-Plus & K-Max grinder).

How to find the Zero Setting
It is intuitive to adjust the external adjustment design. For instance, you could just note where the red dot points at the indicator.
It is quite easy for the internal and top adjustment design as well. Such as adjust the adjustment dial clockwise till you feel resistance, and that’s the zero setting.
These three kinds of adjustment design share a common point of the zero setting: at the click which the crank handle is unable to move drastically.
