Grinding Info and Recommendations:

A conical burr grinder is recommended because it produces a more consistent, even grind with less heat generation compared to flat burrs, resulting in a smoother, more balanced flavor profile.

Also being more affordable and quieter than flat burr grinders; however, some coffee enthusiasts may prefer the sharper flavor separation achieved with flat burrs depending on their taste and brewing method. Here at The Shed, we use the conical burr version.

Below are grind, water, and temperature recommendations based on the type of brew you enjoy using.
