I'm coming from Baratza 270wi to a Ceado e37sd. A straight-through grinder should really come with the following manufacturer warning:
If you move on to a flat burr grinder, your experience will be unpleasant at the least. Expect a lot of mess from bellows & brushes, painful added steps from RDT & WDT to your workflow, wasted (premium) beans from necessary purging, and tail chasing to dial in a grind.
The Ceado is a few days old.
I've manually grinded about a kilogram (two pounds).
Half of which was old coffee and the other half fresh beans.
I'm not pedantic, but I'm weighing what comes out as a baseline. To know where I stand.
At this point, I am getting +/- 0.2.
Which is ok.
And I'm still not getting fluffy grinds yet. Fluffy grinds will shoot out, then nothing for a few seconds, then a land slide of grinds will literally slowly slide out of the chute. Then spurts of fluffiness.
And the added RDT/WDT workflow, but slamming the bellow & shoving the brush into chute to get out the remaining 1 gram, the mess this all ensues....
Argh.
I'm having withdrawal symptoms!
Can someone walk me through transitioning from a straight through to a flat burr please.
