Frequently Asked Questions - CM 81 GRAEF

How to clean the Graef CM 81 coffee grinder?

Unplug the device. Remove the bean hopper and the ground coffee container. Brush the conical burrs with the provided brush. Never wash the burrs with water. Use a damp cloth for the exterior.

Is the Graef CM 81 noisy?

Like most burr grinders, it produces moderate noise during grinding, but remains acceptable for domestic use.
