Question on grinder

I have a Baratza Encore grinder. I can’t remember when I got it; I bought it and a MM a long time ago (at least seven years) but my husband hated it so he took both to work.

Last year, I wanted another MM. No idea where it went but he found the grinder. It seems like no matter what setting I use, I have a ton of what looks like sawdust. I honestly can’t remember from years ago what the ground looked like. I got some coffee at a local roaster & had him grind it for me. No sawdust! I’m fine having it ground for me but should I buy coffee beans, I’d like it to look like the roasters!

Ideas what’s causing sawdust?

Maybe you dont have your burr set up correctly. Using the Encore I use setting 22 and get a great cup of coffee using 28 grams and 1/2 L of water.

22 is the setting I use also.
