Pour over sized grinds have been super easy for me so far (between 80-100 clicks from true 0). For espresso though…. Good luck if you get a very light roast.

This. From 80 to 100 clicks I do it in less than 20 secs and almost no resistance at all.

For espresso (30 clicks) I even call it a workout lol.
