Daily Maintenance
To keep the Eureka Mignon grinder running smoothly, it is important to perform daily maintenance. This includes cleaning the burrs, hopper, and grounds bin, as well as wiping down the exterior.

- Turn the grinder on and let it warm up for a few minutes.
- Adjust the grind size to the finest setting.
- Use a scale to weigh out 20 grams of coffee beans.
- Grind the coffee beans and measure the output.
- Adjust the grind size as necessary until the output measures 20 grams.

Cleaning the Grind Chamber
The grind chamber can become clogged with coffee grounds and oils over time, which can affect the flavor of the coffee. To clean the grind chamber, follow these steps:
- Unplug the grinder and remove the hopper and grind chamber.
- Use a brush to remove any loose coffee grounds and oils from the burrs and grind chamber.
