How to look after a grinder
- Tap it out after each use so nothing builds up.
- Give metal grinders a soak in isopropyl alcohol every few weeks, then dry fully.
- Store it closed in a storage box so it's not rolling round your bag.
FAQs
Are toothless grinders better?
They don't clog and there's nothing to snap, so they last longer. Toothed grinders are cheaper and perfectly good for everyday use.
What grinder is best for cones?
A fine, even grind fills cones best. Grinder One lets you go finer by turning more.
