The cleaning of bean grinder is an important lesson.

No matter how powerful and noble bean grinder you use, there will still be a little coffee powder left.

What's more, there is the problem of coffee oil stains and fuel consumption being eaten into the knife plate.

Therefore, regular maintenance of the bean grinder is absolutely necessary.

If you don't take good care of it, it may directly affect your cooking quality.

After grinding, use brush and blow ball to push the residual powder out of the bean grinder, which is a good habit after cooking.

Open the cutter head regularly and clean the residual powder thoroughly + wipe off the oil stains on the cutter head, which can be regarded as periodic maintenance.

But there are two issues worth thinking about about opening the cutterhead.

1. The problem of oil stains is not easy to clean, and the inner cutter head is hidden in the fuselage, which is even more difficult.

If you often grind beans with deep baking, the problem of oil stains will be more serious.

Even the cutter head will smell of oil consumption, and if it is not clean, it will smell more and more strange.

two。 Some people don't want to open the cutter head at all, fearing the possibility that the scale will run away or break down.

This can not be said to be wrong, after all, not everyone has research on the bean grinder, can not be dismantled, do not dismantle

But in the long run, it does do harm to the quality of ground beans, so it should be cleaned.

So the world invented the bean grinder to clean the ingot (the green can in the picture).

The cleaning ingot of the bean grinder looks like pet feed.

It is generally made of organic + natural raw materials, in line with food safety regulations.

After all, it is used to clean the bean grinder, so it will make sure that it is no problem to eat.

It is quite practical in function.

First, the fine powder of the cleaning ingot can absorb oil stains, thoroughly clean the cutter head and eliminate the smell of fuel consumption.

Second, the residual powder can be squeezed out of the bean grinder.

Third, there is no need to remove the knife head, so that people who are afraid of the knife head can still keep the bean grinder clean.

Next is a simple demonstration of how to use a bean grinder to clean ingots.

First of all, after grinding off all the beans in the bean trough, pour them directly into the cleaning ingot

About 10g of home bean grinder is enough.

Unless it's really oily, you can put it a little more and wash it clean.

Then the degree of grinding is changed to the smallest, and the cleaning ingot is ground into powder directly.

This will allow more fine powder to cover your cutter head and suck up all the oil stains.

Of course, you must find a higher container to receive the dry powder, otherwise the ultra-fine powder will be sprayed everywhere.

(in order to show everyone the effect, the seniors put it in a short cup and sprayed it all over the fuselage.)

In a few seconds, the knife head of your bean grinder will be cleaned.

Black spots can be seen in the powdered cleaning ingot after grinding.

This is the fine powder left in your bean grinder.

You can smell it, too, and you can smell fuel consumption if you haven't cleaned it for a long time.

But it's not over yet, and you have to clean up the remaining cleaning ingots.

You always don't want the cup to test the flavor of the ingot (although accidentally drinking it is not harmful to health)

So before making a cup of coffee, take about 10-20g of coffee beans

Throw it into the bean grinder for 2-3 times and squeeze out the remaining cleaning ingots.

It can be seen that there is a white powder in the ground coffee powder, which is the fine powder of the cleaning ingot pushed and extruded.

Grind the fine powder twice more, and your bean grinder will be as clean as the new one.

The maintenance cycle of cleaning ingots depends on the amount of beans you grind and the degree of baking of beans.

In principle, for families to grind 2-3 times a day, once a month is enough.

But if your favorite baking degree is medium-deep baking, the accumulation of oil stains will greatly increase.

It is best to maintain once every 2-3 weeks to ensure the best grinding quality.

Finally, I would like to remind you that most of the bean grinder cleaning ingots sold on the market are loaded with commercial large capacity.

The price will be a little higher, but a can can last a long time (but there is still a question of shelf life)
