RSVP International Espresso Coffee Kitchen Cleaning Tool, Utility Brush, Stainless Steel

I was using one of those extra toothbrushes my dental hygienist is always giving away or a paper towel to clean my coffee grinder. I bought this on impulse and, as I waited its arrival, considered myself to have been foolish for ordering something I didn't need and that would probably be no better than the toothbrush.Well, while the question of whether I'm foolish is an open question, this purchase proved not foolish at all. The brush is significantly superior to either a toothbrush or paper towel for cleaning out the grounds. A couple of flicks and the grounds are gone. Yup, another example of how the right tool for the job makes things so much easier.The secret? The soft and long bristles are well-suited for their task.

There is simply nothing that works quite like a good bristle brush. This brush is perfect to get in the nooks and crannies of a coffee grinder and cleans it out nicely and with very little effort. Just don't get it wet, that isn't necessary anyway when dealing just with coffee grinds.I use a second one for my other coffee grinder which is used only to pulverize dried lemon and orange rinds and other herbs. My fist one is probably 15 years old by now and still good as new.

I had been using a small watercolor paintbrush with short bristles. It got into small areas well but quickly became clogged with coffee grinds. This brush while larger, has much longer bristles that the allow the coffee grinds to easy fall out when cleaned. It still works in the tight places with a couple of extra brush strokes but doesn't clog up at all. The larger handle is also much easy to grip and use. The quality is good especially for the price. I use it daily and appreciate how well it functions.

Now that I grind my coffee at home, purchasing a grinder brush was in order. I figured, a brush is a brush, right? I guess not.This brush does the job well. It saves a good amount of of grounds that fly everywhere in my chainsaw-like grinder, and makes cleanup a breeze. The only thing I don't like about it is that the bristles occasionally come out and end up in my coffee grounds. Taking them out is easy, and it's only usually one or two, but it's still kind of annoying.Hooray brush!

This brush works exactly as I expected and as far as all those people who said that the bristles come off, they don't if you use the brush correctly. I can only imagine that they are using the brush to try to take off the compacted coffee grounds. If you use this brush to only get off the loose grounds, it works perfectly and NO bristles come off ever. If you want to remove the hard caked on grounds then you need to use the Pallo coffee tool which works great for that. I first use the Pallo coffee tool to remove the hard caked on coffee grounds, then this brush to remove the loose leftovers. Works perfectly if used properly.

I'm satisfied and happy. I got a coffee grinder recently. And then realized about a month in. That if you don't brush the dust out. The machine will plug up 100% and stop functioning at all. It's not that big of a deal. Get a bottle brush and clean out the exit spout. But, it is a huge inconvenient. At the most inopportune time. So I got a 1 inch paint brush at the local store. Big mistake. It is just a little too wide to fit in that metal burr. And each use saw the edges bind up a little more. This brush, at not much more expensive. It fits good. So, it's a good fit, and good quality, and it's pretty. A wooden handle is more natural and rustic and real. The paint brush that it replaced, was plastic , yuk.

I've had this brush for about 3 months now. Here are a few of my impressions so far:Pros:-Initially sturdy, well-made feel-Wooden handle doesn't feel cheap-So far minimal brush hair loss-Does a good job of cleaning my coffee grinderCons:-Glue dried out completely and metal tip holding brush hairs to handle came off completely after about 2 weeks-Even after super glue fixed the metal tip issue, tip still wiggles. Does not feel well-made anymoreBottom Line:This brush has a lot of good reviews and I can see why. Right out of the box, it has a solid feel in the hand and the wooden handle is much nicer and feels less cheap than regular plastic. That being said, the metal tip falling off after the glue let go after only 2 weeks of daily use is just unacceptable. It is fixable with good 'ole crazy glue but that shouldn't happen after only 2 weeks. It's possible I got a lemon but with a simple grinder brush how hard can it be to put it together well?

Keeping your portable coffee grinder clean will extend its life and also help the taste of you coffee! This little brush makes it each to brush out the remnants of grinding enough beans for a pot of coffee. Avoids getting the grinder damp or wet. Biggest problem: Remembering where you stored it! At least for senior citizen coffee lovers!
