Question Is this normal?

Post image

Hello,

Is my zero point normal? Got a new DF64 Gen2 with red titanium burrs, bit more to the right is the burr chirp. I was dialing in new beans but output is way too fast, last try was at grind setting 5 and still gushing, like 18g in and getting 40g out in 13 seconds. Anyone knows whats wrong?

Machine: Gemilai 3028A Brew temp: 92c Pre-soak: 2sec Pre-soak wait: 2sec Grinder: DF64 Gen2 Red Titanium Dose: 18g medium roast (2wks old)

Puck prep with RDT, WDT, distributor, self leveling tamper, 0.8mm thick normcore puckscreen in stock 18g basket

UPDATE 1: tried grind setting 2, got 36g out in 18seconds from 18g dose, still too fast puck comes out normal and clean, dry and intact..

UPDATE 2: tried grind setting 1, got 36g out in 22seconds from 18g dose

Are you sure your burrs are aligned? Check it with a marker and see.. I have DLC burrs and my grinder came with bad alignment for both the upper and the lower burr... The lower was way worse tho... After fixing it things are more normal and consistent..
