You're going to tell me to use scales aren't you?
Yep! One proper cup of coffee should be about 15g with 250ml of water. You'll get less coffee out into the cup as some water is held in grounds.
I've never really used the timer. Just tare my scales to the empty grind pot, grind a bit, weigh, grind a bit more till i've got the right amount. Doesn't take long to work out how much comes out with a quick press.
For a pour over you don't need to be mega accurate. just try and get within a gram or so.
Also, different beans grind at different rates, so a given grind time on some "harder" beans will be a different weight to softer ones.

Coming back to this, very happy with mine, but have a question re quantity. The smallest portion setting on the grinder is '2' which I assume means two servings, but I'm just using all of that at once because it seems too little to split. Is this similar to your experience? Hopeful I'm not going through my coffee at double the suggested rate.
