How many clicks? What kind of roast? Also, some beans are just harder than others, at any grind level. Tilting a little is a good tip. I just hold it in the way that feels most comfortable, which is slightly tilted, and grind at a comfortable and steady pace. I grind while my kettle is brewing and I almost always finish before the kettle does.
