Maintenance Tips

• Clean hoppers daily: Empty remaining beans and wipe hopper interiors to prevent coffee oil buildup that can affect flavor and grind consistency.
• Brush burr chamber regularly: Remove coffee dust and fines from the burrs and grind chamber using a soft, dry brush to maintain uniform particle size.
• Clean dispensing chute daily: Prevent ground coffee accumulation that can cause clogging, inaccurate portioning, and stale flavors.
• Inspect burrs for wear: Dull burrs produce inconsistent grinds and increase grinding time; replace burrs as recommended for optimal French press grind quality.
• Verify portion control settings: Periodically check programmed grind weights and calibration to ensure accurate dosing and reduce coffee waste.
• Keep DBC communication areas clean: Dust and debris around BrewWISE®/DBC components can interfere with grinder-to-brewer communication.
• Avoid moisture exposure: Never use excessive water on internal grinding components, as moisture can damage burrs, electronics, and motors.
• Deep clean every 3–6 months: Remove burr assemblies and internal components to eliminate compacted coffee oils and residue.
• Monitor grinder performance: Unusual noise, slower grinding, or inconsistent particle size often indicates burr wear or internal buildup.
• Inspect switches and safety features: Ensure hopper and funnel sensors operate correctly for safe, reliable operation.
