Abstract:
1. A method for cleaning a coffee grinding machine having one or more burrs soiled with oils and grinding residue, comprising: apportioning an amount of a cleaning material having a predetermined shape and size, wherein the cleaning material shape and size corresponds to the shape and size of materials specified to be ground by the grinder and differs from the material that caused the soiling of the burrs and wherein the amount of cleaning material apportioned is sufficient to clean the soiled burr by removing the oils and residue without impacting the flavor of any material subsequently being inserted into the grinding machine; inserting the cleaning material into the grinding machine; grinding the cleaning material using the one or more soiled burrs of the grinder, wherein during the grinding procedure the cleaning material dislodges the soil from the one or more soiled burrs; and purging the ground cleaning product and the soil from the grinder without the use of liquid.
