Im having a problem where my Rocky starts to grind but then after a little while I hear the grind mechanism, but without that wonderful sound of beans being crushed into dust. Its been happening intermittently, with a little shake of the grinder usually sorting out whatever the issue is. Last Friday that didnt fix it and I took it to Barazi who couldnt replicate it, took it apart, put it back together, cleaned it, ran some de-oiling cleaning bean things through it, and it seemed to work. Saturday morning it did it again. If I take the beans out and refill it it seems to work again, but thats rather a pain.
So, it seems to me like the beans get themselves into a bit of a gridlock above the burrs.
Question 1: Has anyone else run into this problem? Is it common or unusual?
Question 2: Is it better from a freshness perspective to keep my beans in the tin or bag I get them in and only put in a few when about to grind, rather than using the hopper?
Thanks,
Ralf
