    Usually do a vacuum and hopper wipe of my SJ once a month. I usually pull out the burrs when I'm majorly procrastinating which happens about 2 times a semester at the moment

    I clean out the hopper and chute on my Mazzer Mini after each coffee making session.
    Cleaning the burrs is probably not essential, but I've never tested that theory. Not much accummalates there in the Mazzer. I have noticed that the difference between burrs grinds/bean bits shortly after a clean and between long periods of clean is negligible.

    My no.1 now is changing the burrs on schedule for the grinder.
    That makes the biggest difference.
    Best money I've spent on espresso.

    What about this grinder do you feel earns it the best entry level prosumer grinder title?
    M2M is easy to clean, adjust, use and a new pair of cutters costs about $28.00

    Thanks for your reply. Do you have an Eureka Mignon ?

    Is it a good grinder ? (Happy with it?)

    Not much I can say about that then. I don't mind pulling things apart but sometimes I can't get them back together.

    sometimes I'm left with 'spare' parts when I finally do get them back together.

    I pull the Mazzer apart every few months. It doesn't take a lot of effort really and clean equipment = clean taste.

    Occasionally I'll spend 30 seconds with the brush cleaning under the burrs... but then again, I guess manual grinders don't have a lot to clean :-)

    All good mate...
    Just wanted to point out that more often is an option really...

    Certianly not necessary as you say, I just like to tinker in my spare time. I change beans a lot and no longer own my second mazzer so I like to give it a decent clean monthly. Easy if you have a micro dial style grinder as there is no need to recalibrate (I don't own one anymore but the design is great).

    It looks like I'm not too far off the mark with my current process.

    I am going to look into "grindz" and possibly removing the burr carrier for cleaning periodically. [emoji106]
