# Coffee grinder notes

Burr alignment and dose calibration for the counter grinder. Nothing here
applies to the commercial machine at the shop.

- Grind finer when the shot runs short and sour.
- Clean the chute weekly; static holds grounds in the bend.
- Recalibrate the dose after any burr change with a blind basket test.
- Replace the basket screen when the base of the puck turns muddy.

The dial clicks are not linear near the fine end, so two clicks of
adjustment there behave like five clicks in the middle of the range.
