Verify that the hopper is filled evenly and that the crank is being turned at a consistent speed. Ensure the burrs are clean and properly aligned.

Grinding mechanism seems loose

Check that all parts are securely assembled. The burr mechanism should be firmly in place. Refer to the setup instructions.
