DV,
Yeah, there's a bit of stiffness in mine too... which didn't seem so on the Mini ME at Joey's place, Mocca Club. It doesn't bother me much though as in my home environment, I don't have to adjust every time, like at Joey's. And you'll get the hang of it, I usually go over by about a notch, notch and a half, and when I turn back, I always get to where I want. Also, I don't notice it much nowadays and don't know whether to owe it to getting used to it or whether it's a little more broken in now.
I use my grinder mainly for espresso shots and that usually means, depending on the beans used, grinding between 9 notches and 15 notches from the true zero point (which on mine is just past the 8 on the dial). Alternatively, this means 4-10 notches to the left of the sticker arrow point, so based on my dial, that's between 9.0 and 9.6.
I tested last night on coarser grounds for my Eva Solo and used the settings between 1 and 2 on the engraved dial whereas my espresso is usually between 9 and 0 on the dial. I'm not sure if there are other brew methods applicable for the other ranges.
Hope the pictures are visible for you now.
BTW, which city are you in?
Cheers,
Marcy
