Matt, I don't use the grinder with any kind of timer and don't leave any beans in the bin...I prefer the coffee to be in an air-tight container. I put just enough in to grind for one dose and use the manual button until it's done with the beans I put in. This is my second one of this type; the first lasted ten years. While I know it seems silly to have such a large grinder that sits empty when not in use, I like how it grinds and know exactly how much to put in for each latté I make.
