What is the best way to clean this grinder?

Clean with if only a little finger. Also I use it because there is just a good brush. I hope and brush is attached. I am not yet wash because the outside is clean

The front panel is plastic like te rest of the body. Any time you have metal parts moving at a fast rpm with other metal parts, its a good idea to lubricate the parts to cut down on the parts wearing out. You can disassemble the stainless parts of the grinder for washing.

I use a small brush that came with my old grinder to scoop out the extra grounds when I remove the grounds collection container on the bottom. I have never tried to clean out the top. I don't know if you can completely disassemble the unit--I've never tried to completely clean the grinding burrs. Pressurized air (either via air compressor or canned air) would likely work

I clean mine after each use by plunging the spinner (while spinning) into soapy water and then into clean water and wiping it dry with a soft cloth.

I just clean it with hot soapy water, and if need be, use a Brillo pad on it.

Clean everything first with soap & water. Fill the mug 1/2 full with white vinegar & carefully add a few teaspoons of baking soda (depending on the size of your mug). "Carefully" because it will react/expand & pour out all over if done too quickly. Add water until full. A better way to do it, if possible, is I separate my mug from the lid & put them both inside my French Press when cleaning it. Everything stainless steel comes out looking almost brand new, & all the seals etc are clean as well.

It depends on exactly what you mean, wiping it down is fine. If you want to clean/purge the grinding area the best way is to put through some dry rice and it will clean the grinding mechanism.

turn the peppermill up side down and turn the knob a few times to clear the grinder

I would stick with Grindz Burr Grinder Cleaner. I found it to have the best outcome for cleaning the burr grinder; I use it once a month to keep my husband's special ordered Ethiopian and Peru coffees beans fresh tasting

I'm ok with the basic cleaning, but two things annoy me. 1: the chrome shutter disk is difficult to clean, since it appears to 'bake on' the grinds. It cannot be removed and needs to be scrubbed to clean off the cooked on grounds. 2: Not sure how to run the last batch of beans through the grinder before cleaning the grinder. This has required me to hand pick out the beans from the grinder. A tedious process at best. Any suggestions or hints on the above two items would be appreciated.

I don't think you can. I had the same problem happen to me and ultimately solved it by throwing the grinder into the trash. If you're feeling electrically-inclined, you could take the whole thing apart and glue in a switch from Mouser or something, but the design of the grinder is such that you'd need to fashion some kind of guard to keep stuff from getting inside the case... not worth it. Even working, it's a pretty crappy grinder.

I use a simple coffee pot cleaner. Under $5 at the local grocery store. Let it soak for a couple of minutes and viola, clean pot.

Don't put anything in the dishwasher and do NOT use bleach on any of the parts as it will pit and discolor the parts. It doesn't take long to clean them up with soapy water and dry them. The hardest thing to clean is the grinder plate (with all the holes) and that can be cleaned quickly by using your sprayer in your sink. Use a toothpick to dislodge stubborn bits. I store my blades and plates in a Ziploc bag with a small bag of dessicant to absorb moisture. I also wrap the parts in brown paper that prohibits rust. Congratulations you've chosen a great grinder!

I've had mine for several months and it's working fine. I do clean it out on a weekly basis by rinsing out both hoppers and the removable blade and blowing out the body of the grinder. If it only worked 10 times, it might be defective. Send it back.

I have this grinder and like it very much. It is easy to clean, lift out the top of the grinder and use a coffee grinder brush for cleaning the attached part of the grinder and the part of the grinder that lifts out. I turn my unit upside down and remove any remaining coffee grinds using the coffee grinder brush. This brush can be purchased at Amazon.

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

The only cleaning I do is brush out the dust from the Drawer area. Since I use it every day, I don't worry about the Grinding Mechanism. It grinds very well and leaves very little dust behind.I've never noticed any different flavor in my coffee. To clean the Grinding chamber, I think you would have to dismantle it.
