HELP: Barista Burr Grinder Clogged(?)

tsolomon · 01-08-2011, 10:18 AM

I have a burr grinder built into my Capresso coffee pot and the last time it clogged I had to run rice through it to get unclogged.

pipe cleaner? chopstick?

I know it's probably too late, but I always put a brush up the chute (no jokes please) at least a couple times a week.

Are you positive the burrs are turning?

Might have broken the shaft somehow?

Are we still talking about the grinder?

The conical-shaped metal thingy that looks like it would pulpify my finger if I stuck it in there spins 'round and 'round -- I watched it myself before adding the beans. It ground for a bit, then clogged/jammed.

Serious questions:

* I assume uncooked rice, yes?

* Does it matter if it's white or brown rice?
