Cleaning my manual grinder

HLA91 · Oct 21, 2010

Hi all

I was thinking about cleaning my manual hario ceramic slim grinder and I spoke to Glenn a while back and he recommended Grindz click me now seen as it is so close to Christmas I decided not to buy it but to put it on my Christmas list, in the meantime would rice be ok to clean it with? I don't want to do anything that would damage my grinder but I have had it since august and so far it has only ever had a pastry brush run over it a couple of times so I thought it would be a good time to give it a good clean.

Thoughts and suggestions?

Many thanks

As far as I am aware one of the big advantages of having ceramic burrs is that you can clean them easily. They are not going to rust or corrode so you can wash them under the tap with no problems.

p.s I found some posts on other forums where they said not to use water or even mention the word water near your grinder. However, they did not back up this claim with any solid reasoning. Water will not harm or taint or do anything else harmful to ceramic burrs. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a superstitious fool. Gone on ask them why. Ask them what research they are basing this on. That'll shut 'em up, at least until they realign their chakras.

Mine regularly gets a bath.

Nice hot water and a toothbrush. I don't use soap suds though as my grinder is a soap dodger

Make sure you dry everything before you put it back together.
