Well this is just getting stupid now. Yes, ok there are beans sitting on top of the burrs in the grind chamber. Are they ground, in part probably yes. Makes no difference anyway as whatever residual crap is left after the last grind is flushed out and dumped with the next. And yes, there is a gate on the bottom of the hopper but I don't use it often.
Stupid, why ?....it makes your comment about " bugger all" retention totally irrelevant , and explains why a 10 sec purge made a big difference ! Do you not realise how much grinds and part beans are in the grind path, or the significance of leaving the grind path full for 3/4 hour between shots, and that your original few seconds of purge is unlikely to have been emptying out ALL those stale grinds ?.......and then wondering why the first shot is different in colour ?
