Cold brew grind setting for the Turin DF64 Gen 2
66–75
That is where to start with a light roast. It should come out looking like coarse sea salt. Medium roasts go to 71–80 and dark roasts to 75–84.
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 90.
| Roast | Setting | Looks like | Steep in the fridge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light roast | 66–75 | coarse sea salt | 18–22 h |
| Medium roast | 71–80 | coarse kosher salt | 14–18 h |
| Dark roast | 75–84 | raw sugar | 10–14 h |
Where the number comes from
People who own one report 65–90. Our starting point is 75 for a medium roast, and it moves with the roast.

How to use it
- Set it. Turn the ring until 66–75 sits at the mark. That is the light roast setting. Use the table above for anything darker.
- Grind and look. You want pieces about the size of coarse sea salt.
- Steep. Give it 18–22 hours in the fridge, or 12–14 on the counter.
- Taste and adjust. Too bitter? Go coarser next time. Too sour? Go finer. Move about 9 at a time.
