Tech Tip: How to Clean the Nuova Simonelli MCI & Grinta Coffee Grinders

It's time to dive into the care and maintenance of a couple of the Nuova Simonelli grinders that we carry. While you're probably running First, we take on the Next, we get into the Grinta. One of the more popular home grinders that we carry, the Grinta provides you with excellent grind functionality and simple features for a great price. One trick when cleaning it, however, is that the top burr is attached to the adjustment collar and the hopper, so you need to take care with removing a few extra screws in order to clean the hopper without risking unwanted moisture on your burrs. And, unlike the MCI, the Grinta will lose its calibration as you unscrew the top burr, so you will need to dial it again once it's been sufficiently cleaned. Check out the process of taking it apart, cleaning it and putting it back together again in this how-to video.
