I’m that target audience. It’s called single dosing. I weigh before and after because the difference depends on the quality of the grinder. Retention is the enemy of single dosing. The Niche grinder is one of the best (I’ve been through 4 grinders.) I have had mixed luck with spritzing. As the article says it only benefits beans with lower moisture but even large distributor beans vary between roasts. It takes a few shots to dial in every new batches.

I've also been very pleased with my gev 4 DF64; it was a tossup between that and the Niche Zero at the time. The retention is so small I can't even measure it.
the varia has been responding to a spritz and shake with beans before going in the hopper. i stopped measuring output its that good. Sometimes a bean or two can get stuck in the hopper.
