What is the best way to clean this grinder?

I just wash it with some soap and water, and you can use a light wire brush or pipe cleaner to clear the screen. Depending on what you're grinding, you can also dip a cotton swab in some rubbing alcohol to clean the threads or other sticky areas. Hope this helps!

It's a pretty solid piece, so I have found that swishing it vigorously in a dish basin with Dawn, rinsing it thoroughly and then letting it air dry has worked well so far. It doesn't rust so this works well...and you aren't risking getting injured on the cutting blades.

Haven't yet done that despite using it twice a day for months. Assume when I feel it necessary I'll take off the rubber base and wash the glass part by hand. Wouldn't think it necessary to wash the grinder part. The grinder part may need to be brushed off from time to time; but to date it has been grinding consistently.

I have never had a serious problem with the grinder such as yours, but I would assume if you contact the manufacturer they would replace your product.

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.

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.

Ours did the same thing. My husband had to re-vamp the grinder as it was rubbing. Our first time using it was a total mess too. We thought about returning it but my husband fixed it somehow but I could not tell you for sure what he did. He is a machine designer so he could see what the problem was.....

I use it every morning, however, didn't actually need to clean it, as yet - I usually leave beans in the top compartment and grind only as much coffee as I need, discard any leftovers. The grinder is still works well and looks great. I would probably use a brush, if I had to clean it (inside).

The grinder body pulls out of the motor portion and then can be taken apart and washed in the sink. Very easy to clean!

It is very easy to lift out the filter and its housing and rinse and replace. The grinder however does not need to be cleaned each time. Perhaps once a month or a bit more, depending on how heavy your usage.

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.

I find it great to grind a lot at once because I find the cleaning tedious. I see some people put theirs in the dishwasher but I thought that wasn't recommended so I hand wash then towel dry and use the food grade silicone before reassembling.

I just hand wash the parts inside or put in dishwasher. I use paper filters so coffee grinds come out easy with filter. Makes good coffee but it's hard to see the water line inside. Hope this helps.

It is easily cleaned. I just doesn't work very well. The smallest bit of grounds or dust gets in the wrong place and the grinder has to be taken apart and cleaned then put back together.

Lift it straight up out of the coffee pot. Insert new grinder straight down onto the same place you removed the original grinder. Easy.

I haven't taken it fully apart, but I did disassemble the grinding mechanism to show a friend of mine. that part does come apart easily. the grinder also comes with a pack of Grindz, which is a grinder cleaner. I have not used it yet. the instructions say Grind is "an all-natural, safe, and easy way to keep your grinder fresh and clean." I also know that the base is one component & will not disassemble.

I think it is best left for buffing. It would be better to get a separate grinder.

If you are not using the grinder, you can put those little bags of silica that you get packaged with most electronics into the container. This will absorb the moisture that is causing the rust.For the existing rust you can use a wire brush to remove any surface rust, or you can use Evaporust on a cloth to wipe on to the rusty areas. Leave the Evaporust on the rust for a few hours, then wipe off. Clean the newly rust-free areas, then coat with a very light oil, like Camelia (Tea Seed) or a very light food friendly oil. If you ever decide that you want to use the grinder, just wipe off any excess oil first.
