I have the XL , for espresso I am adjusting somewhere between 3 and 4 depending on beans and freshness.
My burr’s touch at about 0.2 on the dial, There possibly is a way to zero the knob, but I have never worried about it.

Thanks. I've been increasing the coarseness, currently just under 4 and it's slower than ideal but getting close. I ran out of beans but have a fresh roast from 2 days ago to try in the morning.

Yes, I have the XL (same 65mm burrs) and I normally adjust the dial by just a couple of mm, 1/3 of a digit at most for a different type of beans.
Still, there seems to be something else going on. You shouldn't have to go that close to the point where the burrs touch.
As an indication, I do 2:1, ie: 18g for 36g of coffee out in about 30 secs. The grinding part takes ~10 secs.

Moving it from 3 to 2 completely choked my machine. It seems to be quite sensitive.

Which of the Mignon Oro models do you have? There are at least 2.

Looks like you need a finer grind. Depending on whether you drink ristretto or espresso you should be looking at 1.5 times or 2 times the volume out in about 26 seconds.

Eureka Mignon Oro First Time Use
I just bit the bullet and got a Mignon Oro to replace my trusty Breville SGP. The manual is worse than useless.
Is it simply a matter of weighing, grinding, timing the pour? I put 18g in today and had 50g out in 20 sec
