How does one clean this grinder?

I clean it by first inverting it to empty residue, then use a dry paper towel, then a few sprays from a compressed air can typically used to clean dust out of keyboard creavises.

That's easy. Just take 1 paper towel add a little water squeeze out. Then just wipe out ,then get another dry paper towel wipe out the small wetness. Ta Dah it's cleaned. You can't submerge anything that plugs in to the wall outlet. Everybody knows that. I hope this helps Mihaya. I NEVER use soap or vinegar cause it messes with the flavor of the next thing I might want to grind. I've ground up sugar in the raw to make it powdery.

ues a slightly damp paper towel and wipe down inside of grinder and around blade area. If blade area is still caked up use a toothbrush. The outside can be cleaned with damp cloth or paper towel.

If you mean cleaning as in washing - I have not really done that. But if you mean getting all the grind out after each use so that there is little or no residue ground coffee in the well, I find that this model is much easier than Krups that I also use. Somehow with the Krups model, coffee grind get on the plastic cover as well as the well bottom and it is harder to get it out. With this Secura model, virtually no grind gets on the cover and the bottom of the well meets the side wall in a larger radius that the grind gets out easier. Overall, I find it easier to get most of the grind out of the well after each use for this model than the Krups. If you mean cleaning as in washing - I have not really done that.

I have cleaned my grinder by wiping it with a cloth dampened with a solution of vinegar and water, or mild dish detergent and water. I am assuming you will not immerse the machine in water. The direction that came with the grinder suggested filling the well of the grinder with arm & hammer baking soda overnight to eliminate orders left behind for spices (i.e. rosemary, cloves, etc.). I have only used it for grinding spices three time and the baking soda works.

Like all coffee grinders that I have owned, I use a brush to get any remaining coffee grinds out--then a paper towel is good for wiping clean. I dampen the paper towel just a little, and it comes very clean.

The grinder pieces are ceramic, so I've avoided using soap on them for fear that they might pick up a soapy taste. I simply pour hot water over the grinders and let them soak until the water cools. Then I re-rinse them and let them air dry. The rest of the contraption is plastic and metal, which I wash with a little dish soap.

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!

l haven't yet but if I do. empty open grinder as far as it will then clean and let thoroughly air dry.

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 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.

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.

I use a PAINT brush (about 1/2 inch wide) to brush out the ground coffee, then use a damp paper towel to clean up the fine powder. This method works very well, especially if you use a soft brush. Keep the brush near the grinder and brush out the grinder after each use.

If you mean the burrs, just look down into it and see if it looks sort of oily and black. A trick to cleaning it out is to use "Minute rice", not uncooked regular rice, use about 1/4 cup +/-, grind it and it will clean out the burrs. Then run a small amount of beans through it and it's clean. I wouldn't get too crazy about it, maybe every week or 2 depending on how much it's used. You didn't say anything about the static problem, I haven't found a good fix for that yet but did call the company and was basically told all grinders have the static problem but in my opinion the plastic ones more that the metal ones. I' going to try a "Zerostat", used to remove static on vinyl records, 60's sort of stuff, they shoot out a stream of negative ions (really, not bunk), which should solve the problem. Too much information? Haha!

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.

Only when it needs cleaning. To me it the coffee grinder I have owned and I have been grinding my coffee since 1972.

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.

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).

I remove the auger nut, auger assembly, auger, cutting knife, grinding plate, meat pan then submerge them in hot soapy (dish detergent) water in a sink for about 10 to 15 min. to loosen the meat residue from all these parts. I then use a soft wash cloth and the soapy water to clean all smooth surfaces, and also a small soft brush to clean the cutting knife, grinding plate, and threads on auger assembly/auger nut. Cleaning the L-shaped auger housing takes some dexterity, but needs to be done. I wipe down outside of motor housing unit with a warm damp cloth to also remove any meat residue. I allow parts to stand dry, then wipe all down with a clean dry cloth or paper towels. I'm not sure whether its best to reassemble grinder just after cleaning or wait until its to be used again then reassembled. Because everything is stainless steel, the grinder cleans up nicely!

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 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

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.
