For cleaning manual coffee grinder burrs and other small parts, get a bowl of soapy water and dip a Q Tip in it.

The easy way to clean the grinder blades without pulling then apart is to use the Cafetto Grinder Clean which is cereal based pellets designed to be ground through the blades to remove residues of oil and odours. How to use: Generally once a month is all that is required, with one 750g jar giving you 10 doses on smaller grinders.
