Cold brew grind setting for the Eureka Mignon Notte
4.3–4.8
That is where to start with a light roast. It should come out looking like coarse sea salt. Medium roasts go to 4.5–5 and dark roasts to 4.8–5.
The setting, by roast
Lighter roasts are harder to pull flavor out of, so they grind a little finer and steep longer. Darker roasts go the other way. The dial runs from 0 to 5.
| Roast | Setting | Looks like | Steep in the fridge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light roast | 4.3–4.8 | coarse sea salt | 18–22 h |
| Medium roast | 4.5–5 | coarse kosher salt | 14–18 h |
| Dark roast | 4.8–5 | raw sugar | 10–14 h |
Where the number comes from
People who own one report 4.5–5. Our starting point is 4.8 for a medium roast, and it moves with the roast.
