Bread-Bakers v100.n053.10

Coffee or spices can indeed leave their essence in grinders.  However
there is a way to get them free of the taste/scent.
Put 2 or 3 tablespoons of dry baking soda in the grinder along with 3
saltine crackers.  buzz it about for at least 30 seconds, shaking the
grinder up & down while it is running.
Occasionally you might have to repeat the process but it works.
for burr grinders (the kind that the material runs through from a hopper
into a receptacle,  mix baking soda with white rice so you have at least
1/2 a cup  (half & half)  and run that through the grinder.
This is good for cleaning the grinder after processing oily nuts or very
oily grains or legumes.
