If a cup of coffee (or several!) are part of your morning or afternoon routine, it's likely that you've tossed a lot of grounds. Coffee grounds are actually full of organic matter and are wonderful to add to the compost pile to create a nutrient-rich amendment. There have been some misconceptions about used coffee grounds and whether it's a good idea to add them directly to your soil, and your houseplants.
How to Clean a Coffee Grinder for a Fresher Daily Brew

There’s a good chance you own a grinder if you’re a coffee connoisseur. But what you might not realize is that old particles and oils of coffee beans can go rancid, clog the grinder, and wear the blades if you don’t regularly get rid of the stuck-on buildup by cleaning your coffee grinder.
Learn how to clean a coffee grinder—whether it’s a blade or burr type—to maximize that fresh bean aroma and flavor and extend the tool’s lifespan with our handy step-by-step guide.
How often you clean your coffee grinder depends on how big a coffee drinker you are and how dark a roast you like for your espresso. Darker roasts mean oilier beans. If you use your coffee grinder daily, a weekly wash is best. Once you have the knack for these cleaning techniques, it shouldn’t take you more than 15 minutes to complete. If you only use your coffee grinder occasionally, clean it monthly or before you store the grinder at a minimum.
Before cleaning your coffee grinder, follow these tips to set yourself up for success.
Simple, inexpensive blade grinders crush beans via fast-rotating blades. Burr grinders are more complex, multi-sectional tools with serrated disks that produce more evenly-ground coffee, but they are more tricky to clean.
The instructions below offer general guidance, but some models have specific directions for disassembly and cleaning.
Don't soak burrs in water. It might seem like a quick solution, but these pieces rust easily.
When cleaning a coffee grinder, the aim is to banish oils and residue clinging to the blades and container.

Run the grinder until all the coffee beans in it are ground. Tap and shake gently to release as many of the grounds as possible.
