Well, it's really relative to the herbs you are using and how you load the grinder too, I wouldn't say it's not as consistent, because like I said when I grind with the medium and no upside down grinding, I find it to be more coarse but still pretty consistent, though there's always the chance of a larger piece falling through the hole depending how you load and such... Even using the fine plate, I like to grind upside down for even more consistency, but technically you're ending up with more finely ground, than more chunks, so technically either way it's not going to be fully consistent per se? But yeah the larger the holes are, the more chance something that is not ground could fall through, just be careful with how you load it and use it, is all. If you find the medium plate to be consistent the way you use it, I would not be too worried about the coarse plate not being consistent enough for you, I think you may be surprised how you enjoy it!
Yeah the FM is great, and unique, not like any other grinder, not really a grinder at all, but yeah I do not get such a consistent grind there with the standard or coarse plate, need to be using one of the fine plates for that in my experience, but again it can depend how you load and use it, for me and my style in general the BCG is a bit more consistent... Particularly now that I have the coarse and extra chunky plates to compare, yeah I would say it is a more consistent coarse grind for me, though it is also more grinded if that makes sense, since the BCG is more of a traditional grinder?? But that is also because I like to go a little upside down of course!
Haha my pleasure, yeah it's hard to really cure any of these, I've been told not to buy things specifically and then I still had to buy them for myself only to confirm I should not have! If you do want more VAS, fantastic pair for the TM is the FW7, and cloud connoisseur for plug-in...
Meanwhile I cannot seem to conquer my own GrAS (still working on the GlAS) because I am so tempted to get another factory second now that there are more large available, amethyst, which there are only medium plate versions of, and that is what I already have with my hematite and amber plate, would rather a large fine plate, to help justify it further, but even so... Damn it why
