The Home Espresso Struggle

Every home barista knows this pain. New bag, new beans, and suddenly your perfectly dialed shots taste like battery acid.

🤷

Generic Advice Doesn't Help

YouTube says 'grind finer' — but HOW much finer on a Niche Zero? Every guide assumes you'll just figure it out.

🔧

Every Grinder is Different

Your grinder's '15' might be someone else's '12'. Settings you find online don't transfer to your equipment.

💸

Trial and Error is Expensive

6-12 wasted shots per new bag adds up fast. That's $20-40 in beans before you even get a good cup.

The Number, Not a Range

GrindDial gives you the exact setting for your specific grinder — not a vague "somewhere between 10-20" range.

Our grinder behavior engine contains sensitivity curves, espresso zones, and calibration data for popular grinders. Combined with your one-time calibration, we translate "grind finer" into actual numbers.
