Maintaining and cleaning your coffee grinder is an important process that has a direct impact on the flavour of your brewed coffee, whether you're grinding espresso for lattes or grinding in a hand grinder for your next pour over coffee by cleaning and brushing away and then blast the residual coffee grounds with an air duster you're able to prevent contamination of old grounds and particles in your coffee and in turn have cleaner and better tasting coffee.

General Coffee Grinder Cleaning Guide:

Most coffee grinders operate the same way and have similar components. Usually you can find an Axle, Grinder body / grinding chamber, inner and out burr sets in either conical or flat burr design a hand crank, catch cup and if you're using an electric coffee grinder a Motor and sometimes a coffee bean hopper.

All of the parts listed above are same to use this brush on, by lightly brushing away coffee grounds on all these components you're unlikely to cause damage to your grinder. The only component we can think of that may cause damage would be a clump crusher in electric coffee grinders or any wire that may be bent when brushing.

It is important to first read your coffee grinders manual prior to cleaning as most grinders will recommend a procedure specific to that coffee grinder to avoid damage.

Start by disassembling your coffee grinder, follow the coffee grinders manual and avoid disassembling further than needed. For instance on the Comandante C40 grinder it is important not to remove the screws as this affects the alignment of the outer burr set.
Brush all the components including the burr set to remove fine coffee grounds, oils and chaff.
Use an air duster to blow the coffee grounds out of the chamber and then repeat step 2 and this step until there is minimal coffee grounds remaining.
Using a slightly damp cloth wipe away any remaining coffee oils and dirt stuck on the internal grinder body. Refer to the grinder manual before cleaning the burr set with any moisture as this may cause some burr sets to rust.
