Can you take the grinding "cup" out and put it in the dishwasher, or is it permanently attached to the electric part?

It is permanently affuxed. But no problem to clean dry coffee bean residue. I use my pastry brush ro a dry paper towel to dust it off. Tuck it away and it's ready for the next time.

It is part of the body, but it is sealed (water proof) so I put mine under the faucet. Wipe with a paper towel and you're done!

It's permanently attached. If you're only grinding coffee, or spices, it's not a problem to just use a paper towel to clean the cup out.

Mary Lou, we purchased one of these units. Appears to be more powerful than most. Top section that is actually does the juicing comes aprt and can go into the dishwasher if needed, only two or three pieces. The base with the spout, I think is attached to the power unit and I would not recommend putting the electrical power unit in a dishwasher, it would probably ruin the electrical components. I will look at it closer tonight to see if the spout base comes off the unit

I wash mine in the dishwasher, every time, no exceptions, it's built in a manner that all the parts that get dirty easily come off for washing.

Only the stainless steel balds can go in the dishwasher, but you should wash by hand. The blades should be matched to a grinding plate as well so they "match" while grinding, it keeps them sharper longer. Buy the Lem grinder cleaning kit, it works great on grinders and sausage stuffers.

Not sure what you are referring to when you say the part that holds my grinding wheel. That part is attached to the shaft of the grinder and in my experience it's the shaft of the grinder that is moving. Without turning on the grinder see if you can move the shaft laterally (back and forth) if you can than the problem is with the bearing in the motor holding the shaft and not the part 'holding' the grinding wheel. If the shaft does not move than please describe the 'part'. Good luck.

Not sure- I have an electric one now too, and I have put this on the top shelf in my dishwasher and not had a problem.

It cannot be disconnected. The manual's instructions for cleaning are to simply scrub the stainless steel portion manually, then to run it in a cleaning solution (hot water and soap) for 2 minutes. It cannot be put in the dishwasher. Hope this info helps.

Since I use mine just for coffee, I can only answer for that. After grinding, I unplug it. Then, take a soft brush and brush it out. Then wipe it with a cloth dampened with vinegar.As far as I know the blades are not removable. I've heard some say they take a piece of crusty bread and grind it. This takes care of any coffee residue. IT's a great little grinder, by the way. I love it.

I use soft scrub on the surface to get off the 'stuck' pieces and then put it in the dishwasher. Never had a problem.

Same answer as Cynthia Haven...The instructions tell you to keep this out of the dishwasher. I own a set of 8 of these, and my wife and I use two a day for coffee. If it can't be washed in a dishwasher, I have little use for it. The reason for this cautionary instruction has little to do with the cup except for a rubber ring on the bottom - non skid bottom. It will come off after about 2 tours in the dishwasher, but no big deal. I've saved all of the rings from the 8 cups and may epoxy them back on if skidding ever becomes a problem - love this cup.

It is fairly simple to change the cup wheel. Unplug the grinder first. Then towards the front on the left side of the grinder on the silver part there is a black button. Press the button down with your thumb and spin the wheel with the other hand. When the wheel is spun far enough the button will depress slightly further and will lock the wheel in place. Then you continue holding the button down and turn the wheel counterclockwise and it will thread off. It can sometimes be on there pretty tight. Good Luck

I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher. My experience with cups like these is that you will lose the outside design.

The handle is removable, but not likely to come off accidentally during grinding. The grind is adjustable. The unit weighs about 250 grams. It takes a long time to grind enough for one cup. Capacity is 60 grams. It would probably take at least an hour to grind that much. I got it to use only in the event of a power outage.

I don't use a mechanical dishwasher,( just a husband for washing dishes). But it should be dishwasher safe. I always rinse the top of the chopper thoroughly and make sure water gets into the gears and rotate it so no food or food juices gets stuck and dried to gum up the gears. Then drain well. BTW, the faster you grind, the finer things get chopped.

not hard to clean at all. I put the loose parts in dishwasher. Sometimes, I just rinse them off if I think I will need them before I run the dishwasher. I always feel the top part with the grinder works better if it is as dry as possible when you use it.

I don't plan to put mine in the dishwasher. I think the ball on the top is wooden so I'm not sure what the dish washer will do to that piece only. I just read the description and it says that the handle is removable for storage. So it looks like it can go in the dish washer once you remove the wooden ball!
