@Blues1143, it actually looks a lot more coarse in the image than real life. Jpegs sharpen small details... that means the grind looks more pronounced.
so apparently I don't know what "talc" looks like.
@Blues1143, you were right! I decided to add a shim to my Sette and went as fine as possible. To my eye, it didn't look too different, and even clumped a bit. I don't ever remembering it clumping in the past, but whatever.
Anyway, ran it again, this time just 18g at the finest setting, and NOTHING came out of my Breville
I mean, that's not great, but it means it just wasn't fine enough. I've had the unit for about 14 months now, making 2-3 coffees a day, so it's probably time for a shim.
Thanks everyone for your help. I've got enough beans for my morning coffee only!
The Sette is great for espresso, and produces nice fluffy grounds without clumping. On mine the dial is usually 7, or 8. But it might have a shim. Have you checked yours? It might need one...or two.
This morning I ground 19.6 grams Miel I roasted only 5 days ago ( yep, need more resting, I know) at setting 8D, and the Grimac Mia chocked. Threw out the puck, tried 18 grams at 9D, ( aiming for 27 grams out) and again, it chocked.
