Cleaning your E65 GBW Grinder

Cleaning your E65 GBW Grinder

🧽 What you’ll need

  • Grinder brush (soft bristles)

  • Vacuum cleaner (optional, but very useful)

  • Food-safe grinder cleaner pellets (e.g. Grindz)

  • Soft, dry cloth

  • Flathead screwdriver / Allen key (for burr chamber access)


⚡ Safety First

  1. Switch off and unplug the grinder before starting.

  2. Make sure the hopper is empty.


🪣 Daily Clean (quick and simple)

  1. Empty the hopper – pour any beans back into an airtight container.

  2. Wipe the hopper with a soft, dry cloth (no water inside the hopper as moisture can cause clogging).

  3. Run cleaning pellets through the grinder (optional, every few days):

    • Add a small handful of Grindz pellets into the hopper.

    • Grind them through on a medium setting.

    • Follow up with a small dose of coffee beans to push out any residue.

  4. Wipe exterior of the grinder with a clean, damp cloth (avoid getting water near the grind adjustment or electronics).


🔧 Weekly / Deeper Clean

  1. Remove hopper – wash with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry fully before reattaching.

  2. Access the burr chamber:

    • Loosen/remove the adjustment collar using the release screws.

    • Carefully lift off the top burr carrier.

  3. Brush out coffee residues from both burrs and the grind chamber.

    • Use a vacuum to remove fine particles (do not use water).

  4. Inspect burrs for wear or damage. Replace if dull or chipped.

  5. Reassemble: put the burrs back, tighten the collar, and recalibrate if needed.


🕐 Monthly / As Needed

  • Check calibration: make sure your “zero point” (where burrs just touch) still aligns with your grind reference.

  • Inspect seals and screws. Tighten if anything has loosened with vibration.


Pro tip: Never use water on the burrs or inside the grind chamber—always keep it dry. Moisture leads to rust and clumping.
