I have a mazzer mini and I'm invited over for new years day and they requested me to bring my coffee. As they only have drip coffee I wanted to grind my beans (CC handlebar). Can someone advise approximate notches or numbers down from my normal espresso setting to a decent drip setting on a mazzer mini?
Also any suggestion on coffee ratio (grams) to number of cups for drip coffee?

All machines will read a little differently. I would suggest adjusting to a coarse table sugar. I will try and grab a shot from the internet.
I use 60 grams of grounds to a finished liter of coffee.

My rule of thumb 8g per 5oz water, adjust to taste. Also suggest Hbar brewing well above 200f, 205f ish. If they only have an auto-drip oh well! OR bring an array of Clever Drippers or whatever! Clever comes to mind cuz just finished dialing in Debi's new brew routine for work - gave her a Clever with Filtropa filters to simplify her at work brewing versus press pot's clean up. FWIW dialed in full Clever with Filtropa bleached paper filters 28g, 1:30 infusion before draw down. Initially filling about 2/3 then waiting 15sec stirring bloom down and finish filling and cover... FWIW I was grinding on +27 (from zero) with decade+ old Rocky (on 10th or so set of burrs). Don't have a dedicated "brew" grinder at home since I only brew espresso. Debi still uses Rocky when I'm not around to pull her cup, she's afraid of the Major.

It's a half turn from espresso to French Press; so try quarter turn and go from therekamali wrote:I have a mazzer mini and I'm invited over for new years day and they requested me to bring my coffee.

Thanks Jim. So I assume Grind on drip is finer than for French press.

See Fine tuning grinder setting with minimum waste for further clarification.

The baristas at my local shops just slam the collar to biggest size.
