Hello. I bought a Sage Barista Pro machine today. As I pulled out the burr, I smelled something like grease. Is this normal with this machine and does it not match the taste of the coffee?

Yes, food grade assembly grease can have a bit of an odour. It is used on a lot of parts, o-rings, adjusting-threads and the detent for the adjustable grinder, etc. The manufacturers claim it won't affect the taste of the beverage even with incidental contact. (I've gotten this far without the John Travolta joke, I'll stop here). The machine is normal.
