Been on this setup for a while. Stepless dial on the Mignon paired with the Bianca’s flow profiling is hard to beat for dialling in, every 0.1 unit actually means something.
One thing I’m still not settled on is the cleaning routine.
Some people swear by pulling the burrs every few months for a full clean. Others say Grindz is enough and you’re risking misalignment every time you disassemble. The Single Dose version has almost no retention so I wonder if it needs less cleaning than a hopper version anyway.
What’s your routine? Full disassembly or Grindz only or am missing another cleaning? And how often?

I have the same grinder (same set up actually). The grinder is very easy to disassemble and maintain. I have never had any issues with alignment. It is made to be accessible for cleaning.
Also I don’t know if Grindz wil clean in the nooks and underneath the burrs. The coffee wil get into everything and go bad. I rather not risk year old rotting coffee particles in my drinks.
Cheers!
Don’t clean your burrs with water. Or very little and wipe clean, they will rust easily
