Adjusting Your Grind Settings
Recommended
Coee-to-Water Ratio
The industry standard for optimal flavor is
2 tbsp. of ground coee to every 6 oz. of
water – or 55 grams of ground coee per liter.

Your grind size and your water-to-coee ratio are the first steps to perfect
coee. They aect your final extraction – the amount of flavor-filled coee
solubles in your cup. To find your ideal grind, make minor adjustments to
the grind setting and taste how it changes the flavor of your coee. Your
grind size will aect your final extraction - the amount of coee solubles
in your cup. Learn more about how to dial in your perfect grind online at

The Importance of Grind Size
The adjustment knob on the KM5 Coee Grinder allows you to produce
coee grounds that range from fine (1) to coarse (9). When grinding for
a Moccamaster coee brewer, we recommend starting at the ECBC-
approved setting of 5. We suggest not grinding below 4 for your
Moccamaster as a finer grind size may negatively aect the flavor of your
brew and the performance of your machine.
