Do you have any care instructions for a Zassenhaus Coffee Mill?
Zassenhaus publish some care instructions for their Coffee Mills. Here they are:
Clean your Zassenhaus Coffee Mill at least once a year because during every day use, oil contained in each coffee bean settles on the grinding mechanism. If the oil becomes rancid (eg on warm days) the freshest coffee no longer tastes good. A clean restores a tasty coffee flavour. So to carry out the this cleaning, grind a small amount of raw peppercorns or uncooked rice. This dissolves oil residues of coffe in the grinding mechanism in the best and most eco-friendly way. Grind some beans afterwards and the mill is now ready to prepare aromatic coffee and espresso.
