    Its not the unodourised butane that is used as a propellent is it?

    I thought the air canisters were just nitrogen which wont go boom :-?

      Compressed air usually has compressed air as the propellent  ;D

      It is the other products that are not so, that require more or a propellent to do what they need..... And in most cases usually stable or at least worth putting in a bag and breathing :

          If you want to clean a grinder then blowing is exactly the WRONG THING to do.

          Stick the vacuum cleaner nozzle in the top (hopper) end and SUCK the debris out.

            Too right....

            Just asking for trouble of many different kinds. Explosive outcomes due to right mixture of suspended particles to air is but one. Some, such as motor winding failure, bearing failure, motor start/run capacitor short-circuit (across the terminals), etc etc... may not rear their ugly heads until an unknown day into the future.....

            The only air used for cleaning should be of the sucking variety, as Greg alludes to... 8-)

              Does this mean the click-clack lid is dangerous?

                Errrrr.... :

                Thatd be a No mate. The above really only refers to pressurised air being directed in a stream. The little puff that a Click-Clack Lid provides is unlikely to force coffee particles where they dont belong....
