Error Code 8 ? - Jura Capresso Impressa E8 Espresso/Coffee Maker

We've had this problem with our Impressa E8 twice now. We sent it in for repair in January of 2010...now, less than 12 months later it is hopelessly clogged again. Interestingly, we were just informed today about cleaning of the TAMPING SCREEN. This information does not appear in any of the documentation we have, but the Capresso representative said that it should be cleaned on a weekly basis to prevent clogging. Unfortunately, once the grinding mechanism is stuck the tamping screen is inaccessable. So now we are faced with another $235 repair OR replacement of our 4 year old machine. She also recommended air drying our coffee beans in a bowl before putting them in the machine. We use beans from a local roaster, so they probably have more oil than the grocery store variety. Hope this helps someone. We've had this problem with our Impressa E8 twice now. We sent it in for repair in January of 2010...now, less than 12 months later it is hopelessly clogged again.
