Tried a $15 blade grinder versus my new Baratza Encore for my morning brew

The difference in my cup was night and day, the Encore gave a way more even grind that made the coffee taste brighter and less bitter. I'm never going back to that old whirly-blade noise. Anyone have tips for dialing in the grind size for a V60 with this grinder?

Watched my buddy go through the same thing last month. He was using a cheap blade grinder for years and swore it was fine, then he borrowed my old Encore for a weekend. Came back totally shocked, said his French press coffee suddenly had flavors he didn't know were in the beans. For his V60, he found starting right in the middle of the grind settings and doing a few test batches worked best, adjusting one click at a time.

That's exactly how I dialed in my own Encore.
