Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling café in the heart of York, was struggling with the time it took for their baristas to manually clean their three grinders each week. They needed a faster, more efficient coffee grinder cleaning solution that wouldn't compromise their reputation for excellent coffee.
"We were spending nearly an hour per grinder on a deep clean, which is time we just don't have. Since switching to Urnex Grindz for our weekly maintenance, the process takes minutes. Our espressos are more consistent, and the team is much happier. It’s made a massive difference to our workflow."
Robert Davies – Head Barista
By using the tablets, The Copper Kettle reduced its weekly cleaning labour by over 80% and saw a noticeable improvement in taste consistency, leading to more positive customer feedback on their signature house blend.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
How to Use It
- Empty all coffee beans from the grinder's hopper.
- Run the grinder to clear out any remaining beans or fragments.
- Add one capful (35-40g) of Urnex Grindz tablets into the empty hopper.
- Operate the grinder until all the tablets have been ground through.
- To purge, grind a small amount of coffee beans (approx. 70-80g) and discard.
Keeping It Going
- For busy commercial cafes, use Grindz once a week for optimal performance.
- For lower volume environments, using it every 2-3 weeks is sufficient.
- Always use the tablets after grinding flavoured coffee to prevent flavour transfer.
- Store the container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I use the Urnex grinder cleaner 430g tub?
A: For a busy café, we recommend using it once a week. For home use or lower-volume shops, every two to four weeks is fine. Always use it after grinding flavoured beans.
Q: Is it safe to use in any type of coffee grinder?
A: Yes, Urnex Grindz is designed to be safe for use in all types of coffee grinders, including commercial espresso grinders, shop grinders, and integrated grinders in automatic machines.
Q: Will it leave any taste or residue in my coffee?
A: No. The tablets are flavour-neutral. After grinding the tablets, you purge the grinder with a small amount of coffee beans, which removes any remaining cleaner particles, ensuring your coffee tastes pure.
Q: Are these tablets actually edible?
A: While they are made from all-natural, food-safe ingredients (grains and cereals), they are designed for cleaning equipment, not for consumption.
Q: How many cleanings can I get from one 430g container?
A: One container provides approximately 10-12 cleanings, based on the recommended dose of 35-40g (one capful) per use.
Q: Why is a gluten-free formula important for a grinder cleaner?
A: It prevents any cross-contamination for customers with coeliac disease or severe gluten sensitivities, which is a crucial part of modern food safety and allergen management.
Q: Can this unblock a completely jammed grinder?
A: It is designed for preventative maintenance to stop jams from happening. If your grinder is already completely seized, it will likely require manual intervention and disassembly first.
Q: Do I still need to take my grinder apart for a deep clean?
A: Yes, while Grindz is excellent for regular, weekly cleaning, a full manual deep clean every few months is still recommended as part of a comprehensive maintenance schedule.

Explore more from UrnexHow No-Disassembly Cleaning Actually Works
Ever wondered how tablets can possibly clean the complex insides of a grinder? Think of it like sending a microscopic cleaning crew on a mission. The Urnex Grindz coffee grinder cleaner tablets are patented, bean-shaped tablets made from a special blend of grains and cereals. When you pour them in and turn the grinder on, they are shattered and pulverised by the burrs, just like coffee.
This is where the magic happens. The resulting particles are just the right size and texture to gently scrub away trapped coffee grounds and sticky oils from every nook and cranny of the burrs and grinding chamber. As they move through, they absorb the stale oils and neutralise odours. It's similar to using a bottle brush to clean a narrow vase you can't get your hand inside – it reaches the places you can't. A quick purge with a small amount of coffee beans afterwards pushes out any remaining cleaner, leaving your grinder ready for action.
