Yes, good, I'll try that, thanks.

Worked like a champ - my new dot setting for Aeropress falls just where the normal one does for espresso, (11-ish) and, my coffee is much, much better in the Aeropress.

^^ Really cool app, Zach! I was searching apps for something like this several months ago, and wasn't able to find anything. Thanks!

Try out the 'unimodal' grinding technique for the niche zero. There is a thread on it here, just search 'unimodal' and it should come up. Word is it reduces fines quite effectively.

Here's the link for the thread in question:
Niche Zero - Unimodal Grinding Technique

Hoffmann has similar findings (basically grind one bean at a time)

Conicals are however more inherently bi-modal
