Took a few q-tips to get the really stuck on stuff out.
It's so nice when you can stop jiggling the bean hopper to keep the grinder grinding. I have to do mine about once every 2 years.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Yep, this was the 2ish year mark.
I just got this same grinder a month ago and I love it.
OXO gang
Nice rock garden
Paper towel is as far as I go.
I started rinsing the grounds catcher with hot water every time and that does a good job of preventing buildup there, but the upper gets a deep clean annually and that keeps it from looking too gross.
Mine is a Capreso Infinity and it’s 12 years old. I’ve had to replace the thermister that regulates motor heat four times now, roughly every three years. No other issues, still grinds great.
This is inspirational stuff. I am going to clean my Encore tomorrow when I make my morning cup.
My process is to run it empty and bang it on the counter, emptying the leftovers in the sink. Then grind my beans. Then run it empty again and bang it on the counter again.
My hope was to have to resort to less violence to get my grounds out.
Uh, we're supposed to clean them?
Odd, mine has a metal handle recessed into the section just above the burrs. I assume that I can unscrew and pull them out with it.
Yep, just twist and the burr comes right out.
I simply put so much coffee through it so regularly that cleaning isn't required.
