What it is and what sets it apart: Why the first shot “doesn’t count”. Internal hold-up—not only visible waste.
At the bar: Purge 1–2 g (or café protocol) after grind changes or long pauses; bellows/single-dose if relevant.
Impact on the drink: Impact: actual dose ≠ programmed; stale/inconsistent flavour in slow service.
Technical notes: Know your grinder’s typical retention. On single-dose, weigh in and out.
Common mistakes: Skipping the first grind of the day. Changing grind without purge. Mixing coffees in the hopper.
