Coffee fouling the ginder

[Greg]

My grandmother has told me that one of her pet peeves was that her grinder was often fouling up with a 'gummy' substance. She has used Peets and Starbucks in the past, but she doesn't have the problem anymore now that's she's exclusively been using Black Dog coffee.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I find my Mom's coffee from Sam's club gets all over my grinder when I open it. The black dog does not....

though i get my fresh roasted beans elsewhere, i believe the key ingredient here is 'fresh!'

 

[Greg]

Do you think it could be the oily nature of the Starbucks beans?

 

[caudio51]

Yep, they are much oilier than the BD beans

 

[Black Dog]

The oily beans will do that. There are some products on the market that can be used to clean the grinder (Grindz is one) but I just use Uncle Bens Minute Rice. Grind a batch of that and it will absorb the gunk. You'll then need to blow/brush out the white powder before using the grinder for coffee.
