So, I've only had my grinder for about 2 months and my grinder is suddenly making a crazy noise when I grind fine. Anywhere in the "espresso" range makes the noise about 4 seconds after I start the grinder. I've cleaned it out completely, to the point that there is no visible grinds left in the burrs/grinder.

I might add that it's defiantly not the sound of the burrs touching, it's as if something is stuck somewhere.
I've already attempted to contact Breville USA but haven't received a response yet. Has anyone had this issue? If so, how did you fix it?
Seems like every grinder I touch is hating me lately! :cry:

Sounds like a warranty issue. It could be a belt. But even if it's a serviceable part, I'd probably encourage the vendor to replace the grinder under warranty. A new grinder shouldn't be making noises like that.
