Clean that Coffee Grinder

If you use a coffee grinder often, you know that it tends to build up coffee dust over time. Cleaning it is often a hassle when all you want is a nice hot cup of coffee. But if the grinder is not cleaned, the dust will build up over time and spoil the taste of your coffee. Who wants that?

To resolve this morning dilemma, fill the grinder halfway with dry, uncooked rice (about 1/4 cup), cover and grind for 10-15 seconds. The grinder will grind the rice into a fine powder, and the powder will absorb the old coffee dust, leaving you with a nice clean grinder again.
