About these conversions & data sources
Conversions use effective grind size ranges with linear interpolation. Comandante and Baratza use manufacturer-specified ranges; Timemore grinders use Honest Coffee Guide measured ranges (burr gap ≠ particle size).
Baratza Encore: 40 steps, 250–1,200 μm (23.75 μm/step). Comandante C40 MK4: 40 clicks, 0–1,090 μm (27.25 μm/click). Timemore C3 ESP Pro: 90 clicks (0.0.0 → 3.0.0), 0–1,009 μm. R.N.T: 10 numbers × 3 ticks = 30 clicks/rotation. Timemore C5 ESP Pro: 150 steps (0.0.0 → 3.0.0), 0–1,250 μm. R.N.T: 10 numbers × 5 ticks = 50 steps/rotation. Timemore C5 Pro: dial 1.0 → 16.0, 0–950 μm. Timemore S3: 0.0 → 9.0, 0–1,350 μm.

Real-world grind size varies with bean density, roast level, humidity, and burr condition. Use these values as starting points and dial in to taste. Brew method ranges sourced from Honest Coffee Guide and verified against Onyx Coffee Lab.
