I just bought and love it so far. After grinding, I rinse it under cold water. My question is: Are there any components susceptible to rust?

I would be careful because I doubt if it is stainless steel. Water could get trapped along the shaft between the handle and the burr where it would not evaporate and cause some rust. If you wash it you should disassemble and dry thoroughly. Happy grinding!

I do love this product, and bought it to set to a press pot grind. My Kyocera is set to drip. This works as well as its more expensive predecessor, but is not quite as solidly built. I Haven't seen any rust yet and have had ours for a years. Since we use it often, I don't pay much attention to washing the top mechanism, so it has not been watered either. I suggest finding a nut for the top, 6mm - 1.00 (I think, but take the top nut with you just in case). This upgrade works with the Kyocera too. I turn it with a small variable speed cordless drill...thanks DeWalt. My hands are wreckage, and I set mine up like this so my spouse wouldn't have to do the daily grind.

I love mine, I have had no issues with corrosion. I was apprehensive at first but definitely a great buy and would purchase it again/recommend to a friend.

I've used mine a lot and never had rust issue with them, however, I did research and found out that actually using the grinder to grind coffee with "season" the burs and take care of the rust problem, much as you would do with a cast iron pan. According to the information I found, the burs are NOT stainless steel so can rust, also I found out that rust is actually not toxic and will simply convert to iron needed for the body or excess will be expelled. You can look this up yourself and find the same info I found, one source is: baratza.com/blog/rustyburs Hope this helps and good luck.

I do and not have had a problem. It is all aluminum so it doesn't rust. I do dry it off though.

I have had mine for 5 months now, we use it regularly and have zero rust. I wash it out and let it air dry after every use.

I'm guessing the entire part is stainless steel. I use mine daily and have not had a problem with any part rusting. I just rinse it or give it a light scrub and let it dry on a dish rack. Hope that helps!

I have not had any problems with rust. After I use it, I rinse it under the faucet and throw it in the drain rack. I had my first one for 15 years and have had this one for 9 months. I love it!

Absolutely none and my service for 16 is in daily use. I'm sure I have over exposed it to water on occassion -- but no rust. Love it.

Yes, I've used it quite a bit, and never even thought it would rust- it's looking great! Good feel to it too, really ergonomic and all that. I bought 2 for my daughters too, it's the best one I've ever had. Hope this helps!

I use my canner at least 1 - 2 times a week - I will admit there are rust spots where the handles attach to the basket and at the weld joints. Its not a fast rusting that weakens or makes the basket brittle, but its visible enough to know it is there. I have been using my basket for well over a year and the rust has not progressed. I do add a nice gulp of vinegar to my WB water while processing because I have extremely hard water, so not sure if that's what has been slowing the rust aging down or not.

It's ceramic so shouldn't rust. Haven't had mine for long. I do notice there is some calcification around the outside of the bowl. I use tap water so that's probably why. I just make sure to totally empty it and clean out the hair and food that might get into the filter area. It's very heavy.

Lol I've only used this one a few times at this point, I forget I have it most of the time. But no rust yet :D

I haven't had any parts start rusting on me and I don't keep it wet. I suppose it could be stainless steel. I like it and it works well and cleans up pretty easy. I hand wash the parts with dish soap and water and a sponge - just like washing dishes by hand and let the parts dry in a dish rack and I don't have any problems yet and no rust yet.

I have it for few month and it seems to be a great coffee maker. I didnt notice any rust so far.

I'm on my second one of these irons and I've never had rust spots. And I have FL tapwater, which is so bad I won't even drink it. I would see about returning it.
