Warning: Dialing in a new grinder can be a real rabbit hole

Honestly, I spent a solid two weeks trying to get my new hand grinder to stop producing so many fines. It took me that long to realize the burrs needed a proper seasoning run with a cheap bag of beans first. Anyone else hit a weird break-in period with new gear?

Wait, is that really a thing with burrs? I mean, I've always heard you just clean them and go. Maybe it's just my gear but I never noticed a break-in.

Try seasoning them with cheap beans first.
