Hey everyone. I recently got a compak E8 and the adjustment collar has a little bit of play in it. It moves left and right a little when the setting pin in unscrewed without actually making adjustments. As in, i can "wiggle" left and right a little bit before I actually feel the fairly strong resistance that I take as actually making an adjustment. Can anyone with one of the Compak E series grinder say if they have this experience as well?

Also does anyone have any tips for adjusting while running? I am wasting what i think are crazy amounts of coffee setting a long dose then trying to adjust the collar while its running to dial it in.

Thanks!
