<p>Thank you, it worked. I soaked the hopper over night. It still required some scrubbing but it is clean now. I'll try with the doser next.</p>

<p>I've always cleaned them as Keith described. The same urnex solution can be used to clean all the steel parts (burrs, etc.) if you feel comfortable disassembling the grinder that far.
