    We were talking about Grindz vs. Instant Rice and wondering what is better about Grindz.
    Can Urnex explain the advantages?
  • Urnex/Puro Caff®

    Great question!

    When using rice to clean your grinder, it carries the risk of locking up the motor as it passes through and is turned into a fine powder (it also can break down into uneven particles that can get stuck in the burrs and motors). The hardness and shape of Grindz™ prevents this from happening. Using rice to clean your grinder also leaves a starchy residue on the inner mechanics of a grinder that is difficult to remove and may eventually require disassembly. While Grindz™ will leave some dust in your grinder, it is harmless and can be easily purged or brushed out.

    Does that help? Let us know if anyone else out there has had any experiences that support this or say otherwise!
