I'm wondering if we should start a sticky post which contains everyone's collection of Bean/Grinder+Setting/Brew method information as a reference. It's always good to have a nice starting point.

I will update as comments come up.

Bean	Grinder	Settings	Brew
Speckled Ax - Early Bird	Encore ESP	20	Aeropress 11g - 200ml
Speckled Ax - Bird Dog Espresso	Encore ESP	23	Aeropress 11g - 200ml
Speckled Ax - Early Bird	Encore ESP	21	V60 15g - 280ml
Light Roast	Fellow Opus	4.5	Moka Pot
All	Encore	16	V60
Light Roast	Encore	18	Chemex - 1 cup
Light Roast	Encore	20	Chemex 32g - 2 cups
Light Roast	Encore	22	Chemex - 3 cups
All	Jaffee J1	30 clicks	Switch 20g - 300ml

Thanks for starting this. I almost exclusively brew light roasts via Chemex. I'll vary my grind slightly depending on how many cups I'm making, but for my standard two cup (32g of beans) recipe: 20 on Encore for Chemex.

When making one cup I'll use ~18, and for three cups I'll use ~22.

I guess we should add grams and cup information to the chart

I'm not sure how much it matters to anyone else - might just be something that I do. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else adjusts grind based on weight of beans, though. Or maybe it's more common just to always brew the same amount with a particular method?

I'm not sure, but let's see where this post goes.
