Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Housing and Hoppers

Switch the grinder off and remove the plug 

from the power supply. Remove any remaining 

beans from the bean hopper (it may be easiest 

to tip the grinder over and pour the beans into 

a bowl.).  Remove the hopper by twisting it in a 

counterclockwise direction as far as it will turn, 

and then lift the bean hopper from the housing.  

Wash the hopper, hopper lid, and ground coffee 

bin in warm soapy water, rinse and dry.

Caution

Do not put the bean hopper, hopper lid, or 

ground coffee bin in the dishwasher. Hand wash 

only.  Do not immerse the grinder housing in 

water.

 Cleaning the Burrs

If the grinder is used daily, the burrs should be 

cleaned every few weeks.  Cleaning enables the 

burrs to achieve the most consistent grind pos-

sible.  Cleaning also removes coffee oils, which

not wash the burr.

Remove the Ring Burr

Pull the silicone seal off the top of the ring Burr.  

Remove the ring burr by lifting it straight up out 

of the grinder by the lifting tabs.  If the burr does 

not lift out, ensure that the grind adjustment tab 

is turned fully counterclockwise.
