minimum dose size?

Coffee quantity affecting grind size?

I use a manual grinder (Kinu m47) for espresso. It's nice and reliable, grind size is easy to replicate, and overall it's a nice grinder.

Now here is the weird thing: it seems like grind size changes if I grind more coffee. I grind either 16g or 32g for one or two cups. My workflow is:

1cup: weigh 16g beans -> grind -> weigh 16g grounds -> brew

2 cups: weigh 32g beans -> grind all -> weigh 16g grounds + brew (x2)

Thing is: when I make two cups, both flow much slower compared to when I only make one (like 5-7 seconds slower). I can't figure out why, is there another variable that I am missing, or is the quantity of beans affecting grind size?
