I accidentally bought ground coffee instead of whole beans. So when the grinder ran out of beans, I took it apart and gave it a decent scrub. When I use it again, it should grind smoother and maybe even get the coffee tasting better.

        James Hoffman has tried some really old coffee and it has always tasted truly vile. It could still start to get better after a century or two.

      There are grinder cleaners that are basically coffee beans made of cleaner that you can order from any place that sells coffee equipment.

      You grind the cleaner then grind a batch of sacrificial beans and you’re good to go.
