How to clean your coffee grinder

Cleaning your coffee grinder or espresso grinder

Once you have your grinder set up correctly, cleaning and maintenance becomes easy. The easiest method to clean your coffee grinder or espresso grinder is to use Urnex Grindz, but we will also show you how you can clean it manually.

Cleaning with Urnex Grindz

The easiest way to clean a grinder is to run Grindz through it every other month. The following instructions come from our partners at Urnex:

1. Empty the grinder's bean container of old coffee and adjust the grinding degree to 3-4 levels coarser.
2. Add 35 grams of grinder cleaning tablets to an empty grinder.
3. Grind the entire package through the grinder and discard it.
4. Add 40 grams (about 4-5 tablespoons) of old coffee to the bean container.
5. Grind the coffee to press any remaining Grindz out of the grinder and discard it.

Cleaning without Grindz

For cleaning without Grindz, we recommend the following tools: a can of compressed air, a brush, a clean and dry towel, and a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle adapter (optional).

1. Remove the bean container and empty it of coffee beans.
2. Use a clean, dry towel to wipe the inside of the bean container. Avoid using a damp towel as moisture in the grinder can cause the coffee to stick to the grinding discs and cause blockages.
3. Use compressed air and a brush to clean the grinder from coffee residue and the grinding channel. Cover the top of the grinder with a towel to minimize the spread of coffee into the air.
4. About If you have a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle adapter, use it to clean loose coffee from the grinding discs, grinding channel and worktop.
5. Replace the bean container and open the bean container opening.
6. Enjoy your newly cleaned grinder!

By following these steps, you can keep your coffee grinder or espresso grinder clean and in top condition, ensuring that you always get the best possible taste experience from your coffee.
