boil it in milk and then drink the milk… oh wrong sub

the grindz are edible btw

I’ve only seen it done once. From my understanding there’s like a cleaning tablet you just… grind through it. Grind some beans after just to make sure all of it is out and that’s it?

Yoooo you probably need grindz cleaning tablets you pour a cupful of through! Then just run it through a few times

Open store resources icon on your iPad
Do a search for grinder
It gives step by step instructions

take the grindz, pour a capful of the grindz into the cap. put the grindz in the grinder, make sure theres something to catch it from the other end. and turn on ur grinder. there u have it, grinder is cleaned

Bro ngl I was like “why are we talking ab this in the Starbucks sub” and then I realized😭

I started to type "soak it in a plastic bag with rubbing alcohol and sea salt" and then I realized this is a Starbucks subreddit

Do you mean the grinder inside the espresso machine? Or the one that grinds bulk coffee for drip/etc?

The latter you can take the plates out. Unplug it, open the top and look inside, use a screw driver. Reverse to put it together again. Calibrating takes a little effort but it's not too bad. There should be directions in the internal online portal thing, but I would check with another store in your district to see if anyone there has done it and can show you, that way you aren't playing IKEA with a really critical piece of equipment you've never taken apart.

The big coffee grinder uses grind everyday and a deep clean during clean play once a week. You use a screw driver to very carefully take the top off. There are 2 screws outside. And 4 inside for the blades. do not drop them inside 😭 or lose them. Trust me its a pain.

And take the top half of the blades off. They are extremely expensive and sharp so be careful.
Use wooden coffee stirrers and paper towels ONLY inside. Not water. No cleaning solution. You just want to clean the oily coffee debree that builds up inside the grinder and on the blades. And very gently scrape it out.

Then put it all back together snug. ❤️

There should be a step by step guide in the computer if you need more visualization.

The vacuum, which is alarming since my store used it to clean the floor sometimes. It supposed to be used for surfaces only tho

It should be done before closing every day. What kind of espresso machines do you have? The orange or silver one. The methods are a bit different.
