My virtuoso takes way too long to grind 3 scoops at 19 for drip

The Baratza Virtuoso might take too long to grind 3 scoops at setting 19 for drip coffee due to several possible reasons:

1. Clogging or Blockage – Coffee grounds or oils may have built up inside the burrs, slowing the grinding process. Cleaning the burrs and grounds bin can help.
2. Worn Burrs – Over time, burrs wear down, reducing grinding efficiency and making the process slower. Replacing the burrs may be necessary.
3. Motor or Speed Issues – The grinder uses a DC motor with speed reducers to control burr rotation. If these components are not functioning properly, grinding may take longer.
4. Bean Type and Roast Level – Different beans and roast levels can impact grind speed. Darker, oilier beans might slow down grinding due to increased resistance.
5. Grind Setting – Setting 19 is relatively coarse, but if the adjustment is not properly calibrated, the grinder may be working harder than expected.

Cleaning, checking for wear, and ensuring proper grind settings can help resolve the issue.

Put back together after unclogging. When I turn grinder on the hopper and silicone turns with the burr. Hopper should be stationary.
