Are you currently finding big swings in your grind settings?

I have a bad memory! That said I am sure that once or twice a year I find that I am having to adjust the grind setting, and not by half a notch either. This variation can occur within a short space of time ie a couple of hours. One or two folks have mentioned this on another recent thread, so I thought POLL TIME!

I think the temperature and humidity play a role. I see this more in the case of decaf especially. The Vac Packed coffee goes south a day at a faster rate after opening.

Not within hours, but I have a bean that I always ground at 10 to 11 on my NZ, that recently is dialed in at 6! Maybe it’s a just this bag.

Now if you asked this understandable question on HB, several egos would trash you and the Moderator would PM you as posting against some silly rule.

I recently posted a question about one type of bean being more sensitive to the same grind adjustment than another. That’s the only time I’ve found that I have to make a “big” adjustment – going from one bag of beans to another. Sometimes I have to do this even if I get a new bag of the same bean as last time.

Having said that, about ⅓ of the time with a new bag of beans I can just use the grind settings that I was at with the previous bag, so this is not a hard and fast rule.
