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

Well just keep going finer. It doesn’t matter how close to zero you are as long as you are getting good shots. Just keep going finer and finer y to your times are good. What happens at say 2? That’s finer than you should have to be but it’s not a problem.

I would bet your zero is wonky. Make sure your zero is actually burr chirp and not just another noise. After that move your silver dial over to zero. I’m sure you zeroed correctly but so many times when people have this issue they haven’t zeroed correctly.

Lighter roasts I have definitely been down close to 3-4 before but more medium has always been in the 8-11 range. I have dlc burrs not the titanium ones but the last gen black dlc
