To keep my grinder from clogging....

I only do a tablespoon or less at a time. I start grinding, then stop and tap the machine to move the grinds back to the middle..and repeat about three times. I empty it, then start over.

The gumminess comes from your seeds getting hot from the blades. I only keep my blades on for a second at a time.

Let me know how this works for you!

Forgot to mention. I NEVER get my coffee grinder blades wet. I take a dry cloth once a week and brush out the inside part where the flax goes.
