Cleaning Your Coffee Grinder

There are several different items you can use to clean your electric coffee grinder...some prefer one way over another; try them to see which you prefer. They all seem to work quite well!

• To clean an electric coffee grinder, add a small amount of dry rice and turn the coffee grinder on until the coffee grinder no longer has any odor.
• Grind some coarse salt in the grinder. The salt absorbs the oils. After, wipe clean with a damp cloth or paper towel.
• A piece of stale bread also works. Break the bread into about 4 pieces. Put the bread pieces into the coffee grinder and grind until you have "bread crumbs". Brush out crumbs and wipe clean with soft cloth or paper towel.
• We're also told that white rice or oatmeal works, too!
