To give an idea, I grated most of the rest in one sitting to get it out of the
way. I grated it into a soup bowl, which I had to empty before I finished
because it was getting too full. The total was 80g, so let's say that's about
one soup bowl. But after grating, most of it is air of course.

When I add the cheese to the pasta and sauce it is in a thick layer in the
middle of the bowl, completely concealing the sauce, so 20g has quite a lot of
volume.

I'm not so sure. It might be too fine a grater, but I think it's working okay.
Looking at how fine the strands are that come out of it I don't believe you can
grate 20g in less than a minute as some are claiming. The finer the grate the
longer it will take.
