Cleaning the grinder

To ensure consistently high coffee quality and prevent coffee fats and oils from building up, grinders should be cleaned regularly.
A special coffee bean-based cleaner coated with a cleaning solution is used for this purpose. This cleaner gently but effectively removes residues in the grinding mechanism without affecting the mechanics or sensors.

Step-by-step instructions for cleaning the grinding mechanism

šŸ› ļø Materials Needed:

āœ… ceragol ultra grinder cleaner
āœ… Fresh coffee beans
āœ… Soft brush or bristle brush
āœ… Vacuum cleaner or microfiber cloth


šŸ”§ Step 1: Preparation

Switch off the fully automatic coffee machine or coffee grinder and unplug it.
Empty the bean container completely.
Remove coarse coffee residues from the grinder area with a soft brush or carefully with a vacuum cleaner.


🫧 Step 2: Cleaning with cleaning beans

1ļøāƒ£ Add cleaning beans
Add approx. 15 g (1 sachet or 2 tablespoons) of ceragol ultra grinder cleaner to the bean container.

2ļøāƒ£ Start the grinding process
Start the grinding process as usual – grind the cleaner as
you would when making coffee.
ā˜‘ļø Note: The cleaning beans are food-safe and harmless.

3ļøāƒ£ Remove residues
Repeat the process if necessary until the grinder is clean
and there are no more cleaning beans left in the container.


šŸ’¦ Step 3: Rinse with fresh coffee beans

Fill the bean container with fresh coffee beans.
Prepare one or two coffees and discard them
to completely rinse out any cleaning residues.
Then check whether the grinder is working evenly
and the coffee tastes normal again.


šŸ•“ Recommended frequency:

āœ” Always wipe the bean container with a dry cloth
before filling it with new beans.
āœ” Use the ceragol ultra grinder cleaner every 4–8 weeks
to reliably remove grease and oil residues.


āœ… Done!
Your grinder is now clean, well maintained, and fully functional—
for consistently fresh coffee aroma and optimal grind quality. ā˜•āœØ ā˜•āœØ
