Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your grinder. The C2S is designed for easy disassembly and cleaning.

1. Disassembly for Cleaning

1. Unscrew the collection cup from the main body.
2. Remove the handle and the top lid.
3. Carefully remove the inner burr and spring assembly.

2. Cleaning the Burrs

• Use the included brush to remove any residual coffee grounds from the burrs and internal components.
• DO NOT wash the grinder with water. Water can damage the burrs and internal mechanisms.

Troubleshooting

• Inconsistent Grind: Ensure the adjustment nut is tightened correctly and the burrs are free of debris. Check that the central shaft is stable.
• Difficulty Grinding: If grinding feels excessively difficult, check if the grind setting is too fine for the beans being used. Adjust to a coarser setting if necessary. Ensure the beans are not jammed.
• Handle Detaches: While the handle is designed to be easily removable for portability, ensure it is fully seated on the shaft during grinding.
