I have a Barista Express. The grinder motor spins normally with no beans. It will grind only 1–2 beans, but with approximately 10 beans it slows, hums, and stalls. I removed a jam, thoroughly cleaned the grinder, and verified both burrs are correctly installed. The problem persists with multiple coffee beans.

Is it messed up internally? It’s only been a month 😭

First video is no beans and second video is approximately with 10 beans.

More info on settings: upper burr is 5 and outer burr is 8. Hope that makes sense!

Meet Lychee! Sesame’s little sister. It’s only day 2 and she has warmed up on us so quickly. She is so sweet and cuddly 🩷 And has such a calm demeanor. We are so happy she is finally home with us.
