Think strips, not chunks. Strips around 1" square by up to 6" long or so
feed just fine.

A bottle brush works well for cleaning. I also find I can fold a sponge
in half and get it inside the grinder. The relatively low internal
volume limits the amount of gunk remaining after grinding and I find
nearly all of the remains are wrapped around the cutter blade so they
are very easy to remove.
