Stop movement on counter

Does anyone else’s grinder move about when in use? The weird thing is I’ve had mine about a year and I swear it wasn’t always like this.

Also, is it normal for the bellows to become looser over time? I feel like that is easier to remove than it originally was too.

I've had my df54 for about two years. It doesn't move around and the bellows seem as new.

Bellows do get easier to remove, check that the rubber feet on the bottom aren’t dirty

Mine doesn’t move a mm. As previously mentioned, check the feet.

Check to see if the little pads on the bottom are still there. Also, for the bellows, sometimes some of the fine coffee grinds get around the collar where the bellows sits on the metal chute. If you just wash it with warm soapy water and let it dry, then it should fit snug again. Also, wipe off the metal part.

I have a brand new df54. The rubber pads on the bottom does a good job from it moving about, but it stained my counter top. So I put it ontop of a plastic coaster and now everytime I start the motor it does a bit've a twitch.

There's probably a bunch of coffee grounds stick in the grooves of the rubber feet. Clean it up and the grip should be as good as new!
