Moccamaster KM5 - Cleaning Your Grinder; Basic Cleaning Procedures; Maintenance and Deep Cleaning

Basic Cleaning
Unplug the grinder before cleaning. Wipe the inside surfaces of the bean
hopper with a moist cloth at least once a week to avoid a build-up of the
coee oils, which can cause discoloration. You may also clean the exterior
surfaces with a moist cloth as needed, and wipe dry. Do not use any
cleaning agents to clean the interior or exterior of the coee grinder. Do
not wash any grinder parts in the dishwasher. Do NOT use rice to clean
your grinder.
Maintenance Cleaning
We recommend cleaning the inside of your grinder every 3-6 months,
depending on the type of coee you’re using and how frequently you
grind. Darker roasts are typically oilier and tend to stick to the inside of the
grinder more easily. If you do not clean your grinder regularly, you may find
that it negatively impacts the flavor of your ground coee.
The inside of your grinder can either be cleaned manually or automatically
by using a dedicated coee grinder cleaning product.
