As seen in the picture, a piece of plastic grip tie has made its way into the grinder, bringing it to a complete stand still.
I have tried opening up the grinder to the coarsest setting pulling at it by hand but it won’t budge. I can’t release the basket either.
Next stop is to find some pliers and try again. But I am not hopeful.
Any other ideas?
Can I use olive oil as a lubricant? Will I ever be able to clean that out?
As I haven’t had my morning coffee I’m struggle to come up with a good solution
