Our Tips On Maintaining and Cleaning Coffee Grinders

Flat Blade Grinders.

First of All When cleaning blade grinders.
– Place about 20 grams (1/4 cup) of uncooked dry rice into the bean hopper.
– Operate the grinder for a few seconds until the rice is ground to fine powder/flour.
– Remove the powdered rice and clean the collection bin
– Unplug the grinder and then wipe the inside using a damp dishcloth/towel.

Repeat the above process every time the grinder starts to give off an odor or when it needs some cleaning. Consequently this happens when grinding coffee beans. Because the oils that are produced by the coffee beans cling unto the cutting blades. Therefore they are also on the inside parts of the bean hopper.

Conical Burr Grinders.

Start by disassembling the coffee grinder:
– Most of the burr grinders have a coffee bean hopper; remove it then wash it together with the lid cover by hand.
– Turn the grinder on briefly while the hopper is removed to get rid of any grind remaining on the burrs.
– Disconnect the grinder from the power source.
– Remove all plastic and rubber parts that usually come in contact with the coffee beans and wash them by hand as well.                         ,  – Also clean the bin that collects the ground coffee.
– Take out the inner burr. For some grinders you may need some tools to do this.
– Using a stiffened brush, knock off any ground coffee that is stuck to the burrs.
– Using a piece of dry cloth, wipe both burrs as this will help in absorbing and removing any bean oils left behind when grinding                 – (do not use water for washing the burrs).
– Let all the washed parts to dry fully before reassembling the grinder.
