Cleaning your Vevok Chef O20.
The Vevok Chef O20 isn’t just another coffee grinder – it’s a reliable, high-quality tool for coffee lovers who care about their brew. With 20 adjustable settings, from fine espresso to coarse cold brew, and a solid all-metal construction, this grinder is built for durability and performance. It’s got no plastic, a generous 35g capacity, and even comes with a handy travel case that includes a brush and air blower.
To keep your O20 performing at its best, regular cleaning is key. While the grinder isn't designed to be disassembled, it's still easy to keep clean with the tools provided. Let’s walk you through how to do it.
Why You Should Clean Your O20.
Cleaning your O20 grinder regularly ensures:
Great taste: Coffee beans release oils when ground, and these oils can build up over time, leaving old flavors behind.
Smooth operation: Regular cleaning prevents your grinder from getting clogged and keeps it running as smoothly as when you first got it.
Longer lifespan: Proper maintenance will extend the life of your grinder, ensuring years of perfect coffee.
What You Get in the Box
Along with your O20 grinder, you’ll find:
A brush: Ideal for sweeping away loose coffee grounds.
An air blower pump: Great for getting rid of fine coffee dust in those hard-to-reach areas.
These two tools are all you need to keep your grinder in top shape.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your O20 Coffee Grinder
- Empty the Grinder
Before cleaning, make sure the grinder is empty. Grind out any leftover beans or grounds so the grinder is clear.
- Brush the Burrs
Your O20 has double bearings, which makes grinding feel effortless, but you’ll still need to brush the burrs regularly. Use the included brush to gently clean around the burrs, especially along the edges where fine particles can collect.
Tip: Take your time brushing around the burrs, especially if it’s been a while since you last cleaned the grinder.
- Clean the Adjustment Ring
One of the best features of the O20 is its external adjustment ring. It lets you switch between 20 grind settings with ease, and it makes a satisfying click when adjusted. Over time, coffee dust can settle in the grooves.
To clean the adjustment ring:
Use the brush to clear away any visible dust or debris.
For finer particles stuck in hard-to-reach places, the air blower pump will do the trick.
Keeping the adjustment ring clean ensures that smooth, clicking movement every time you change settings.
- Blow Out Any Residual Dust
Once you’ve brushed off the burrs and adjustment ring, use the air blower pump to get rid of any remaining coffee dust. Focus on the interior of the grinder and around the adjustment ring to ensure all dust is removed.
- Wipe Down the Exterior
The O20’s sleek, all-metal exterior is not only stylish but also easy to maintain. Wipe it down occasionally with a damp cloth (avoid soaking it) to keep it looking clean and polished.
- Clean the Collection Chamber
With a capacity of over 35g, the O20 can handle a large amount of coffee. After each use, be sure to empty and clean the collection chamber. Use the brush to sweep out any leftover grounds and give the inside a quick wipe with a cloth to remove any residue.
- Check for Blockages
While the O20’s design prevents clogging, it’s still a good idea to check for any potential blockages from time to time. If you notice the grinder feels more resistant than usual or isn’t grinding as easily, use the brush and air blower to clear out any buildup.
- Store in Its Travel Case
After cleaning, store your O20 in its travel case to keep it protected from dust and damage. This also helps keep your cleaning tools (the brush and air blower) handy for the next time you need them.
When to Ask for Help
If your grinder ever seems to need more than a basic cleaning or if it’s not working as smoothly as before, it’s best to reach out for assistance. The O20 isn’t meant to be taken apart without proper guidance, so trying to disassemble it could cause damage.

Additional Tips for Keeping Your O20 in Great Condition
Clean weekly: If you use your O20 regularly, a weekly cleaning will keep it running smoothly.
Be mindful of your beans: Oily or flavored beans tend to leave more residue, so you might need to clean more often if you use these.
Inspect your beans: Occasionally, small stones can sneak into coffee bean bags. Check your beans before grinding to protect the burrs.
