How to Use Your 4-Piece Grinder in 4 Steps
A 4-piece grinder works so well because it separates tasks. The top section handles the grinding. The ground herb then falls through small holes into the second chamber for storage. This separation keeps the herb from being over-ground and helps the grinding parts stay cleaner for longer.
The third chamber has a fine mesh screen where your ground herb sits. Over time, the finest pollen crystals (kief) sift through this screen and gather in the bottom chamber. This lets you save this concentrated material separately, so nothing is wasted. A small scraper tool is usually included to help you collect it.
The lid of the Certified Budtender grinder is held shut with a magnet. This small but important feature prevents accidental spills when you're grinding or carrying it. It adds security and makes the grinding process smoother and less messy.
Every part of this grinder works together to provide a consistent, mess-free, and efficient way to prepare your herbs.

Proper cleaning maintains smooth operation and ensures your grinder lasts for years.
A few simple habits will keep your grinder in top shape.
Before you use it, it's a good idea to inspect your new grinder. Wipe it with a cloth to remove any dust from shipping. Check that all parts screw together smoothly. This first check makes sure it's ready for a clean, efficient grind.
For long-term use, avoid packing too much herb into the grinding chamber, as this can strain the parts. Clean the threads now and then with a cotton swab and a little isopropyl alcohol to keep them from sticking. Store your grinder in a dry place to protect its finish.
A little care before and after use goes a long way in maximizing the lifespan and performance of your grinder.
