Fix the beans too
The best grind cannot save stale beans.
Coffee peaks 7 to 30 days after roasting. A subscription ships it fresh on your schedule, so your setting holds from bag to bag.

Questions
What is Foundiny?
Foundiny is a home-coffee lab: documented grind settings for popular grinders, a free espresso shot doctor, and brew-ratio calculators. Every grind number links to its source.
Where do the grind settings come from?
From each grinder maker's own brew guide or a published grind chart. Every setting page lists its source. They are starting points: taste and adjust a step or two.
How does Foundiny make money?
Some links to bean subscriptions and coffee gear shops are affiliate links, so we may earn a commission. It never changes a setting or a diagnosis.
