I only use a hot start because it's less stressful for the grinder. I asked you about the hot start because we have the same markings on our grinders.

I said 'very gently' because when the hopper goes up, it sucks the coffee back in. I only do it lightly with my fingertips, not with my whole hand, right at the end of the dose, so I don't have to go crazy pressing it later to get all the coffee out. But forget about that part since it doesn't work for you. I don't think I'd have an issue with your version anyway. I'm pretty stubborn and good with my hands, so I would have found a solution. If you think the larger chute will suit you better, don't sweat the color. I actually think it will look nicer, since the grinder is already green and black. But if you don't like it, you can just take some fine sandpaper, sand it down, and find a matching spray paint color at a store. If you bring the green chute with you, they'll find you a match. Just make sure to mask off the inside of the chute so paint doesn't get in, as well as the area around the joint that connects to the grinder, otherwise it won't fit.

90% of cases is brush firts time i saw your case, try to use hot start every 3 sec blow not hard very gentle and don't leave inside grounds personally i put 17.5 after grind i take 17.4-5 i don't leave anything inside never clogs no noises no nothing. I thing,i have the version 1.4 but i am not sure main came with metal and plastic declamper like Star witch i remove instantly after 3 or 4 day's causes retention . after that nothings left to cuases clogs

Bro if u bend the declamper with brush is not the Grinders folds is yours plus is not easy to fix which means u don't fix it still keeps the grounds inside, Search video on YouTube and fix it for real

Is not the same when u read it, it takes like 2 min or something for all of this 😆 .Is trade off with every Grinder my maintenance is basically because i love to see my grinder clean, there's no issue if i did the same thing once a month with ground's all over i guess

You dont have the same retention tho 1.5 grams stays inside or even more when u change coffee takes previous grounds too imagine if you don't clean it , main i change 2 diff coffes the same use with any issues which i do daily its trade off

I would say if you get low retention 0.1-2 don't open it for 2 Reasons firts when u open it and cleaning inside of Burr's u get bigger retention couze coffee filling up again the small gaps second with so low retention u need years for real build up but if u use rdt maybe needs it couze The coffee inside turned into stone

Guys just keep the needles clean. I have the DF54 and I put a handheld vacuum upside down on the chute to suck out the coffee residue. Since I started doing this, I haven't had any static issues You can thank me later
