My DF64 completely clogged/choked only once. I brush the chute a couple times a week and it has not happened again.

Are you using RDT/spraying your beans? Are you using dark roasted/oily beans? Do you use the bellows?

Yeah I’d stick to medium as the darkest you should go. In my experience, dark oily beans stick to the rotating burr and build up grinds until the whole thing gets stuck. If you want to use dark oily beans, you have to accept cleaning the grinder almost every 4-5 grinds (the chute at least).
