Flax Oil Rancidity

I know that the freshness of the oil makes all the difference, so I grind flax seed immediately before each use.  I haven't been in the habit of wiping out the grinder; I just shake/tap it as clean as I can.  Do you think that the meal left behind in the grinder contaminates the fresh seeds that follow at the next use?  If so, I guess I should be careful to completely wipe the storage cup clean every time, yes?

I use a small BBQ basting brush to clean out the cup and cap, followed
by wiping with a dry paper towel.

Flax is a notoriously unstable oil. Your ground flax seed is starting to
turn rancid within a 1/2 hr. of grinding. I used to do the same thing you do
now. Then I read one day how quickly ground flaxseeds/ the oil goes rancid.
Now I clean my grinder religiously after each grind.
