     I think the basis is correct! Apparently, when the 0480 gets older, the burr thingos (? Sorry, need help from the terminology gurus!) wear down which means that you usually need to set your grinder on a lower and lower setting to compensate for the looseness until you start replacing (?) something - a washer or two, I think.  
     :    

     Thundergod, AngerManagement or one of the other guys here will probably help me out here, I hope, and put this a lot more clearer because I think Im buggering it up severely!
      ;D  

    Every 0480 is slightly different, but I think, for the most part, we all hover in the teens somewhere with our grind of fresh beans.
     

    Hang off and see how you go with the BrownBay beans - you might find this makes a difference with your grind settings.

    Now, Im going to slink off and hide under some bush now that Ive demonstrated my lack of knowledge of good coffee terminology and hope to hell I havent said anything too out of whack...
    ;D :
    Happy to be corrected!
    Great attempt and well worth the effort...

    In a nut shell "Hoyks" has it but can not speak it...   Tooooo Mannnnyyyy COFFEEs

    1:  Wait for ya new beans...
    2:  8 is ok on older beans, but good beans for me are about 10 - 16 ( Quite a wide range)
    3:  Keep ya eye out for change on the same well known batch and that with the next batch if it keeps having to be adjusted down.  Method has to be the same...

     My grinder has had a fair amount of work and the burrs are fine..
    5:  The burr mounts are plastic etc and thus can and do compress / change.
    6:  Lots of posts in the grinder section so suggest you look there for the replacement / addition of a washer or two in the EM0480.
