Weber Workshops EG-1, set for a light roast

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 28.

Roast	Setting	Looks like	Steep in the fridge
Light roast	19.2–22	coarse sea salt	18–22 h
Medium roast	20.6–23.4	coarse kosher salt	14–18 h
Dark roast	22–24.8	raw sugar	10–14 h

Where the number comes from

The maker points to 16–28 for cold brew. Our starting point is 22 for a medium roast, and it moves with the roast.

How to use it

Set it. Set the dial to 19.2–22. 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 2.8 at a time.
