Maintaining Your Coffee Grinder

Lelit, Lelit Grinders, Lelit PL043

1. When you’re loading coffee beans into the container, make sure that no extraneous objects get in it.

2. Use fresh ground coffee ONLY. (Ground coffee loses its quality much faster than coffee beans).

3. Clean the bean dosator and bean bunker every week!

4. Check the burrs once every six months

5. Avoid getting any water inside the coffee grinder.

6. Do not use coffee that’s already been ground; use coffee beans only.

At the Beginning of the day:

1. Put the coffee beans into the container. Leftover beans from the previous day should be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly closed container. The same goes for ground coffee.

2. Grind a small amount of coffee and check the ground for the consistency. You can mix the previous day’s ground coffee with the fresh stuff.

At the end of the day:

1. Take away any leftover beans from the container. Put them in a small jar with a tightly closed lid. Repeat with the leftover of the ground coffee. Don’t grind more coffee in the end of the day that you’ll be able to use that same day.

2. Clean the grinder with a brush.

Once a week:

1. Clean the coffee bean container in warm water with a special solution. It’ll remove the oily substance that’s left on the walls of the container and which has a negative effect on the freshly ground coffee.

2. Clean inside the dosator using a special brush.

3. Finally, clean outside the dosator with the same brush.
