Yep, big difference between "zero retention" and "same weight in as out".
To be fair, the Niche is pretty decent in this regard. Though my previous Sette was definitely better on that front. I think the Niche probably has somewhere in the region of 0.2g, but I haven't been measuring it since originally getting the grinder.

Yeah I was being a bit of an arse, but it's true. Then again my Silenzio retains more than the Niche and yet my shots don't seem to suffer.

But in reality, 0.2g is about 1% of an 18g shot. You’d have to have a pretty insane palette to notice.
I remember Steve of YB said to do an experiment where you keep upping the proportion of stale grounds vs fresh in a shot and stopping when you notice a difference. The suggestion was that it’d be a long way away from a 99:1 fresh to stale ratio.
Of all the variables, retention seems like a pretty minor one to me.

You’re sure none of that is from a previous grind?
