Just got a Mignon yesterday; must say it's an experience.
Haven't got a funnel set up for my pf yet, so every dose ends up a messy affair.
The clumpiness is truly legendary for the beans I'm using, although they fall apart at the slightest touch.
Also, after 10 to 20 sec after stopping suddenly a clump sometimes falls out onto the countertop!
From this behaviour, I think there is a high buildup of static.... really need to research how to reduce/manage this.
Not used to this type of hopper, as I usually like to pre-weigh the beans. This doesn't work,as it really needs a minimum quantity for smooth feed to the burrs. Looking at some mods eg replacing the hopper with a straight tube.
I notice people are trying to compare grinder settings...ummm... not sure but I have a strong feeling the micrometric dial is not calibrated, ie my #4 is not identical to your #4.
But putting all the above peculiarities aside, I must say it has amazing consistency compared to what I was used to. Just pulled 3 shots all exactly 25 sec! Like a precision watch.....

i always give it 2 tight slaps to knock out any stuck grinds

actually what kind of dense froth you are looking at? I think it's personal choice, as to me the frothier from french press look alike it too dense for me but okay for cappuccino look alike.
