Why the **** are there so many open gaps and creases in a grinder? It's just begging to have stale coffee pile up inside. For example, in a Mazzer, why is there a 1-2 mm gap where the burrs connect to the burr carrier? Inside of the upper carrier, why is there hollowed out space that can hold FIVE GRAMS of coffee? Why don't the burrs sit flush against the burr carriers? I'm probably not even referring to the parts properly, I'll explain what parts I'm speaking about if necessary...
GAAAH! Why the hell do these areas that see SO MUCH coffee move over them have so much room for coffee to hide and stale? You can clean your grinders every day (hell once an hour) and there is still going to be a ton of coffee that piles up in there.
Frustrations from someone that cleaned grinders today and managed to amass 19 grams of coffee out of the collars of 2 Majors and 3 Super Jolly's...
But this is actually meant to be a question:
-Is there actually a reason (functionally) that these gaps have to exist? Or are the R+D departments just getting paid too much.
