Grind setting for Counter Culture Toscano

Some coffees need a finer/coarser grind than others. Anyone know if the counter culture toscano blend takes a different grind setting compared to my usual Cafe D Arte Pariolli blend.

Thanks, WS

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Caffe d'Arte blends. It's probably too late to matter, but the grind setting for Toscano is "average" compared to others like Intelligentsia and Klatch Roasting. In general, I find that most single origin espressos demand a finer grind, but otherwise most blends fall within 1 or 2 notches on the Mazzer grinders. A notable exception would be blends containing Robusta, which typically requires a significantly finer grind.
