Carlos,

Your grinder will have a "zero" point. This is the number or line on the dial where you can hear the distict sound of the burrs slightly touching each other, usually a high pitch and worrisome sound for a new grinder owner.


On a "stepped" grinder like yours, or one that has clicks indicating higher or lower adjustments, you'll find a number that works, although it can vary slightly from bean to bean etc.

Although a Rocky owner would know best, I'd start somewhere around 5 and go from there.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

NEVER EVER ADJUST SETTINGS WITHOUT THE GRINDER RUNNING>

a bean can get caught between the top and bottom burrs and frreze up your machine and fry the motor.
