Simple Steps for Grinding Clean
Keeping your grinder free of old coffee residue is crucial for optimal flavour. Follow these straightforward steps:
- Empty the Hopper: Begin by ensuring there are no coffee beans left in the grinder's hopper. This prevents mixing the cleaner with coffee.
- Add Grinder Clean: Pour one capful of Cafetto® Grinder Clean directly into the empty hopper. The cleaner comes in small tablet form.
- Grind the Cleaner: Turn on your grinder and run it until all the Grinder Clean tablets poured into the hopper have been ground and dispensed.
- Clean the Chamber: Once the cleaner is ground, empty out the grinder's dosing chamber (if applicable). Use a brush, like the Pallo Grind Minder mentioned, or a similar stiff brush to thoroughly brush out any dust or residue left in the chamber and spout.
- Season the Burrs: To prepare the burrs for grinding coffee again and remove any residual cleaner dust, repeat the process once using one capful of fresh coffee beans. Grind these beans and discard them.
Why Use Cafetto Grinder Cleaner?
Over time, coffee oils and fine particles build up on grinder burrs and within the grinding chamber. This residue can:
- Cause the grinder to operate less efficiently.
- Impart stale or bitter flavours to your fresh coffee.
- Potentially clog the grinder.
Using a dedicated grinder cleaner like Cafetto helps remove this buildup, ensuring clean burrs for consistent grinding and delicious coffee extraction.
