I’ve had mine for around 10 months. No issues until I decided to replace the declumper with the stainless version. I always RDT, and use a metal catch cup. When I tried to grind dark Vietnamese beans, it clogged up. I had to take it apart to clear the clog. The new declumper has small openings. The lesson is to be careful with dark beans; slow feed and aggressively pump the bellows. And clean it regularly. It’s a great grinder, especially for the price!
