About the Normcore Manual V2
The Normcore Manual V2 is a manual hand grinder with 48 mm conical burrs and stepped adjustment. At its coarsest it reaches about 1200 µm, so Cold Brew sits partly beyond its range. Each click moves the grind by roughly 20 µm.
Methods the Normcore Manual V2 covers
All 20 are worked out from this grinder's range and burr geometry. Its maker doesn't publish settings, and nobody has measured it that we can cite. Start there and adjust to taste.

Normcore Manual V2 — frequently asked questions
Is the Normcore Manual V2 a manual or electric grinder?
The Normcore Manual V2 is a manual hand grinder with 48 mm conical burrs.
How much does each click change the grind on the Normcore Manual V2?
Each click on the Normcore Manual V2 changes the grind by about 20 microns, so you can dial in small steps.
What grind sizes can the Normcore Manual V2 produce?
At its coarsest the Normcore Manual V2 reaches about 1200 µm, covering 20 of the brew methods we chart. Its finest setting isn't published, so we don't state one.
Can I copy grind settings from another grinder to the Normcore Manual V2?
Not directly — every grinder's scale is arbitrary, so a number that works on one model won't match the Normcore Manual V2. Match the micron range instead, using the chart above.
