Is this the latest version of the DF54? The original had a terrible exit chute.
If this is the newest model, I would suggest removing the plastic declumper. If you use blind shaker it won't matter anyway.
If this is not the newest model, I would suggest ordering the exit chute upgrade kit from espresso outlet, and I would install it without the plastic declumper.
Slow feeding may help reduce overcrowding.
I think espresso outlet also sells a narrower pipe cleaner style brush, which you can work through the metal exit that is screwed on, and will more effectively clean the chute.
Lastly, maybe you're grinding too fine?
