Clean coffee grinder

Maintaining your coffee grinder is crucial for preserving the flavor of your cup of coffee. In this article, we explain how to properly clean your coffee grinder.

Why is it important to clean your coffee grinder?

1. Removing coffee oil residue

Coffee beans contain natural oils that leave residue in your grinder over time. Regular cleaning helps remove this buildup and keeps your grinder clean.

2. Preserve aromatic purity

A clean coffee grinder ensures that old coffee residues are not mixed with your fresh beans. This helps preserve the pure taste and aroma of your coffee.

Cleaning your coffee grinder with rice

If you use an electric coffee grinder (also useful for grinding herbs or nuts), you may have noticed that it can be difficult to keep clean. Coffee beans contain oils that remain in the grinder and can cause buildup.
What you need:

  1. About 50 grams of rice (just enough to cover the bottom of your grinder)
  2. Water
  3. Paper towels

Step-by-step guide

Put the rice into your grinder and grind it into a fine powder. The remaining coffee oils in your grinder will be absorbed by the crushed rice. Discard the ground rice and wipe the inside with a slightly damp paper towel. If you do this weekly, your grinder will stay clean and your coffee beans will stay fresh.
