Can You Clean A Coffee Grinder With Rice? Yes, You Can!

Grindz is an industry-standard product used to clean your coffee grinder. It removes oils and old coffee grinds from your grinder, giving your grinder a fresh start to a new batch of beans. So the question is... Can you clean your coffee grinder with rice instead? I have read and heard about using rice as a substitute but never given it a try.

Even though people have varying opinions on this topic and grinder companies recommend against using rice, I decided to do my own experiments and put several rice types to the test to compare them to the industry standard, which is Grindz.

So can you clean your coffee grinder with rice? The answer to that question is that I am fully converted and would highly recommend using pre-cooked rice as a Grindz substitution.

*It HAS to be pre-cooked rice, not parboiled, not regular rice, pre-cooked rice!

Let me show you through a series of experiments, comparisons, thoughts, and coffee brews :D
