Can we talk about the whole 'never wash your grinder' advice?
My Baratza Encore seized up last month after 3 years of following that rule, and the repair guy in Boise said the old coffee oils had basically turned into varnish inside the burr chamber.

Yeah but that's just bad luck, my old grinder ran for a decade without a single cleaning and never had a problem.

My brother's Baratza Encore seized up after maybe two years of light use, no cleaning. Cost almost as much to fix as a new one. Old gear was built different, plastic parts wear out now. Calling it just bad luck lets companies sell stuff that barely lasts.
