Mahlkönig X64 SD Single Dose Grinder

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Use the Reference Guide The X64 SD has a built-in grind guide printed inside the lid showing recommended ranges on a 0-12 scale:

• 0-2: Espresso (finest)

• 2-7: Filter coffee (pour-over, drip)

• 7-12: Coarse (French press, cold brew)

2. Adjust the Dial Turn the stepless adjustment knob to your desired setting:

• The dial is numbered 0-12 - a full rotation of the knob is required to move from one number to the next

• The stepless system uses a planetary gear mechanism that allows tiny, nearly invisible changes on the micron level

• You can make micro-adjustments anywhere within each numbered increment

3. Switch Between Methods

• Espresso to filter: Turn the dial from the 0-2 range toward 2-7

• Filter to cold brew: Continue rotating from 2-7 range toward 7-12

• No steps or clicks to count—complete freedom to fine-tune anywhere along the range

Practical Considerations:

• Initial setup: Most units require "zeroing" when first received to establish proper espresso range

• Tracking settings: Because it's stepless with widely spaced markings, many users mark their preferred settings externally (e.g., with tape or a marker) to return to them accurately

• When switching coffee types: If changing between very different beans, grind 2-3g of the new coffee first to purge any residual grounds (due to the 0.6g retention)
