How to look after your i-Steel
A flat burr grinder, such as the Eureka Mignon, Rocket Faustino or Macap M42, needs daily brushing, regular cleaning pellets and new burrs after the number of kilos specified by the manufacturer. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.
Good to know about the Ascaso i-Steel
Unplug the grinder, remove the bean hopper and wipe it out with a cloth dampened with water and washing-up liquid to remove the oils. Brush coffee off the outside and the outlet.
Ascaso states that the burrs should be replaced after 400–600 kg of ground coffee.
Turn the dial on top clockwise for a finer grind and anticlockwise for a coarser grind. The adjustment has stops in both directions, so do not force the dial past them.
