Cleaned the coffee grinder.
-
I accidentally bought ground coffee instead of whole beans. So when the grinder ran out of beans, I took it apart and gave it a decent scrub. When I use it again, it should grind smoother and maybe even get the coffee tasting better.

What grinder do you have?

What grinder do you have?
Oxo conical burr grinder. Fairly common, works well enough.

Watching this.
Is there any update/followup bot for lemmy?

Highly recommend keeping your grinder clean. Two months old leftover dust isn’t going to improve the taste in any way.

How do you even clean them?

I've heard that running uncooked rice through is an easy way to clean them. Never tried it though

Are you sure that you are in the right community? These kind of questions are getting close to interesting.

Ohh hario. I have their ceramic pour over thingy. Definitely a step up from the envelope shaped ones. It's a pain to find filters in stores though.

Disassemble as best you can, brush out all the bits with a clean paintbrush, damp cloth to wipe everything. It's not factory clean but it's better.

When I worked slinging coffees, we used a specific coffee machine cleaning substance. You poured in these pill shaped bits and they'd absorb excess oil as they ground through the machine.

My wrists are too old for hand grinders!

What about two year dust?

It only starts getting good at the decades mark.

James Hoffman has tried some really old coffee and it has always tasted truly vile.

The answers have returned the conversation to dullness. Talking about the specifics of coffee grinders ... yawn

There are grinder cleaners that are basically coffee beans made of cleaner that you can order from any place that sells coffee equipment.
You grind the cleaner then grind a batch of sacrificial beans and you're good to go.
