How To Clean A Grinder

Elevate your grinding game with this essential guide on effectively cleaning your grinder, ensuring optimal performance, and preserving the quality of your cannabis experience

From the last remnants of peanut butter to the stubborn bits of laundry soap, getting rid of them is not a pleasant job.

If you prefer to grind your own herb, you have been through the nuisance of trying to bring out all the kief from your grinder as well. 

That kief, crammed with cannabinoid punch, sticks to parts of the grinder like the walls and teeth, making it so hard to extract. It is not enough just to rinse it out with water, warm or cold, because it feels like a defeat, and thus, just the opposite of the very thing – its purpose – for which we have been trying to save it.

How can one find a way out of this situation? 

Unlocking The Potential Of Your Grinder's Kief

It doesn’t matter whether you’re blazing off joints, packing blunts, or hitting your favorite pipe; this method will take you even higher than you’ve ever been.

Even if you don’t have a grinder, there is no reason to worry; the Premium Edition Flower Mill will be an excellent choice for you to begin immediately.

Step 1: The Coin Trick Steps

Getting Maximum Kief From Your Grinder with a coin

Start off by easing out the easily identifiable kief from your grinder. Next, locate a coin that won’t roll around inside the grinder and that fits snugly into the collection chamber where the ground weed is placed.

Alternatively, rather than opt for a penny, you can also pick a nickel because it is small in size, which makes it perfect for this use.

While that could depend on the size of the grinder, then a heavy coin may be a better option if you own a large grinder. Check that the coin has enough space to operate in the grinder by means of slight shaking. You should hear it banging inside loose. 

Step 2: Refrigerate

Put it in the refrigerator and store it in the freezer. The property of dropping off the cannabis trichome is enhanced by the low temperatures, which makes them brittle and easy to separate from the surfaces of your metallic grinder.

Keep your grinder in the freezer overnight; this will give you enough time to relax and do its magic. Once sufficiently chilled, it’s time for the most exhilarating step: sifting a kief.

Step 3: Shake The Grinder

Shake the grinder fast and hard as if you’re going to break it. 

If done correctly, the coin will bounce off the kief inside the grinder and come knocking those sticky bits out.

Step 4: Results

Remove the coin from the grinder, see it and enjoy all the kief produced by your plant waiting for you in the collection chamber. So long as you’ve diligently followed the given steps, the inside of your grinder should resemble a much smaller and potent miniature kief.

Maintaining Your Grinder

Grinders are like any other tool—they require occasional maintenance to function efficiently. With time, gooey residue produced by resin-laden grindings will accumulate on the grinder, reducing its performance and preventing it from correctly dividing the weed into smaller and finer pieces. 

A grinder buildup results in its potency being lost. Thus, cleaning your grinder at least once every six months is advised. Furthermore, you will miss the abundant THC hash hidden in your grinder; therefore, the research of the options of extraction and application are worth exploring.
