Thank-you for any help you can provide
Sound will be different with different grinds. I think that before you try anything else try again with a little more pressure. You aren't going to hurt it if it isn't working. I understand why advice is given not to use to much but it can scare someone into not using enough. You are not going to hurt anything if it is dull already.
