Why this instead of minute rice or coarse corn meal? I understand they all require some expendable coffee beans to clear out the residue.

I am not sure Minute Rice or Corn Meal would work as well. It could but I know the Full Circle product does work. Considering the cost of my grinder (a Rocky) I think I will stick with the Full Circle Product.

Rice is sometimes used. Some have reported that rice can cause some nicks on the blades. FC brand is not cheap, but it uses biodegradable matter and does a very nice job. The larger container will do around 15-20 cleanings. Eventually, whatever you use, you will have to disassemble your burrs and do a thorough cleaning job with toothpicks and brushes . About every 3 or 4 months.

Haven't noticed. Is the coffee bean/roast one you typically drink? You shouldn't use boiling water too as it may burn the ground.

sounds scary ... especially for me as my millstone only lasted 2 yrs instead of 5-10 yrs. So i guess i am getting more residual corundum in the milled grains. I read the link you posted - one of the reviewers there is of the opinion that were will residue in any kind milled grain - so its like 'pick you poison' scenario here.i guess i will try eat more rice now :-)

Not really. I have had this grinder for a few months now, and find that if I tap the grinder, maybe 1/4 - teaspoon, at most, comes out. I don't save it as I want freshly ground coffee each time I make it. The directions recommend cleaning the burrs every few weeks, and I have done it twice in a few months - that's all. I have not noticed appreciable residue when I switch from one kind of bean to another.

To me it taste great and is a staple in my diet around an ounce a day. For some this quantity is too much. Also it is not a food you have on its own. How do you have it, for example mix with banana and papaya and Tahini in shake. Some people like it with Miso in hot water. while it has all the nutrients, it needs to be taken with other foods to give an alchemical balance, i.e., so that it is not a bland energy.I just noticed that you are having tablets. The powder is much better for mixing with other foods. Tablets are not that great.

Good question...but I think the processing of this enema beans is such that I remember reading that it was not made for drinking.

I added yogurt and fruit to mine to help with the grainy texture. It did help. But after awhile, I just couldn't take the "bits of dirt" (grains) left in the bottom of my cup, so I stopped using it. Pure Protein brand is pretty good, with much less grit.

Perhaps because it doesn't have the corn sweetener maltodextrin added. I find it plenty sweet and have cut back on amount as I use it longer. But everyone has different taste buds! I won't buy another brand after using this.

Probably not. The rice � will be done long before the beans. But this will make the best rice you will eat.

I haven't tried coffee beans yet, but I have ground spice which came out fine. I think it would work just as well with coffee beans.

We live in an area with a great amount of minerals in the water. I am suspect that it is your water that is creating your problem here, not the coffee maker. The reason I say that is because it has happened to my coffee maker also, and I do not have a Bunn. I was constantly cleaning up the "crud" after a few brews. We were going through coffee makers like a kid in a candy store. Heat seems to make the minerals gather together fast. Just an observation on my part....I am no scientist. I began to use bottled distilled or spring water in my coffee maker and no more mineral deposit problem. Actually, the coffee did taste fresher. I appreciate reading your response, because I know that I am not the only one with this water problem, and I will keep using bottled spring or distilled water for my coffee! Oh.....and I am going to buy a Bunn!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your input.

Shipping a single container of cheap coffee is actually somewhat expensive. It would be more economical to purchase this from a grocery store, as they have the luxury of buying these products in bulk.

I went thru 4- 2# bags of dried beans to fill the bags. I think I needed to add some dried rice to top them off.

Got the same problem. Think it's really the catcher being made from a very static inducing plastic. A change in plastic could help significantly. Does everyone here actually clean the burr and components after every brew? I haven't done it yet since I bought the thing. Is it necessary? What are the downsides? I use this every morning and having to clean the device, let alone the grounds that are all over my counter would be way too much maintenance.BTW, the coffee this thing creates tastes great. I'm not an afficianado by any means but I do know that I get consistent non-bitter tasting coffee compared to the blade grinders. Got the same problem.

Same here. I would not worry too much about the beans. Never had a problem with the coffee but make sure you alway clean the sprout on the steamer.

Really, that is your ?,? What do you deem as organic? Spread out on a hot dry bed by human hands that maybe that have not been washed? Or done by machine, clean, shaken, heat added to make dry and clean. I have know idea other than maybe you should shop for organic coffee and really waste your money on something that makes no difference in taste. I liked the coffee until the beans came in oily, sign that it didn't dry enough. Get a life or grow your own coffee bean tree's to make sure it fits your lifestyle. Sorry I am so crass, but really...coffee beans???

There are wheels inside it that look like something out of the Flinstones. They truly grind the bean instead of cutting and chopping it, like a blade would. This process yields better flavor when you brew.
