I took the Robur E as an example because it is seen as a grinder with a lot of retention. Makes it easier to explain the principles of retention.

On my MXK, I single-dosed for years with good results. The grind needs to be finer when single-dosing, but other than that, is worked great. The chute retains about 5 gr. I just sweep it out, which is easy because the chute is large and easily accessed. I presume the MXD in similar. I do prefer using the hopper now, and notice the grind needs to be made finer when the beans get toward the bottom of the hopper.
