Keep a damp sponge handy to clean the tip constantly.

Ever seen an old newspaper crumble just from being opened? I tried to read my grandpa's war letters and the edges turned to dust. Now I scan anything fragile before I even touch it.

Yeah that smell right after grinding is something else. My friend swore up and down it was a hassle until I made him try it, now he won't shut up about how his old coffee tastes like dirt.
