I am a beginner also. But after playing with 4020 for a while, I would say the setting for both "??filter?????" and "????30? 30cc" is very close to the perfect setting.

You can do either of these :

1) Ignore the issue of "??filter?????". Just enjoy the coffee. Due to the design of pressurized portafilter, this could happen. There are alot of other variables like humidity, temperature and freshness of the bean. The prefect setting is ever moving anyway. You will end up chasing the perfect setting all the time.

or

2) You need a very slightly coarser setting on your grinder. There are two adjustable settings on your Hario MSC2. One for coarse setting and the other for fine setting. The adjustable screw on top under the metal handle is for coarse setting, another fine setting is located at the bottom of the conical burr. The metal nut could be turned by a thin pliers or socket (8 or 9 mm I guess). Turn tighter (finer), turn looser (coarser) . Once I figured that out, I've never touched the stepped adjustment again. You could also play with dosage (reduce dosage) and tamping (less tamping). Both will help the situation slightly. But due to the pressurized filter design, it may be difficult to see the improvement.

Thanks very much mtx-4,

I didn�t know the bottom part of the grinder is adjustable, I think this is going to help so much to fine tune the setting. Wish the I can have the better filter, see if really makes the difference.

totally with you to enjoy the coffee rather than perfection.. haha is just feels like the little wooden chip keep poking your back, you want to pick it out.
