It is a little funky looking, isn't it?

I've got what I would consider to be the "bottom of the barrel" for grinders that will make my tastebuds happy - a Baratza Vario. I've found that even with different beans, when I have the grind dialed for the bean that's in the hopper, I never need to tweak the pre-set grind time more than 0.5 of a second to keep the amount that it spits out in the "sweet spot".

My issue is tamping - I'm happy with my results, but I have a little voice in the back of my head that asks if I am being truly consistent with my "30 pounds" or if I'm allowing that to drift. Maybe the "calibrated tamper" is a smaller ledge that I can jump off of?
