It could be the burrs going blunt. Since the burrs in my Sage grinder contacted (after I followed that stupid advice to adjust the burrs closer) it's kicked out a lot of fines. It's a result of losing the sharp edges at the very fine end of the burr where it's most critical for a consistent grind. I really must replace them.

I'm just finding it strange that gradually all the coffee I'm grinding is producing loads of fines. Before when I raised this issue it felt like it was just specific beans, and then I'd buy something different and they'd be normal, but now the last 5 bags of beans, different roasters, different countries, different processes, are all producing so many fines that the filter paper is choking and overflowing.
Brewer is Sage Precision.
I've tried going down on the grind size massively and it's not really making a difference.
I haven't cleaned the burrs so far because spraying the beans to minimise static (which is bad on the Wilfa Svart) seems to do a really good job of keeping the burrs clean so they don't look scummy at all.
The only solution I have is to brew less coffee at a time but I might as well just chuck the precision brewer in the bin then and just use the clever dripper into a thermos. It worked great for so long and now I'm just getting this bullshit that's making my coffee taste bad.
