Can you please confirm I read this right? And could you maybe try to explain howcome this mill is already so worn out despite being only through 1 gallon of good-quality 25%? It might have overheated above 250F a couple of times, but it was always treated respectfully with new air filters pretty much every liter...

Thanks
