Questions
Is 1.6.1 on a 1Zpresso Q2 the same as 1.6.1 on a Timemore Chestnut C3?

How accurate is this conversion?
It is a starting point. Both grinders are mapped to particle size in microns, fitted from the Honest Coffee Guide charts for each brew method, not from manufacturer burr-gap specs. Beans, roast and burr wear change the result, so adjust by taste.
The coffee tastes sour or bitter after converting. What should I change?
Sour and thin: grind finer by a step or two. Bitter and harsh: grind coarser. Change one thing at a time.
