At the very most I can say 2 secs difference but its at the point where I can't tell if i changed something myself or its the grinder.

2-4 sec with a single step? That doesn't sound right to me. Perhaps your beans might be have been a bit past their prime?

+1 to that. Something is seriously wrong with your dosing, distribution, or coffee if you are getting that big of a change in pour time with a single step.

This issue has been previously discussed in other threads and from my perspective as an HG One owner I can say the steps are practically stepless. By that I mean that I can't ever imagine myself wanting to move the collar less than the distance of a single step at a time. And as a friend of mine pointed out who is also an HG One owner that if for some strange reason you did feel that need that you can always slightly change the dose to compensate to achieve that level of precision.

As someone who works with statistics a lot I am always amused at how much people worry about precision and report statistics to an absurd level of decimal places (eg, p values). Worry about the HG One steps seems like the same kind of nonsense.

Read HG One's post on this topic here. They indicate that each step moves the burr carrier 0.013 mm (or 13 microns). The diameter of a human hair is reportedly 17-180 microns. So we are literally talking about splitting hairs!
