Frequently asked questions
What is the Normcore cleaning brush made of?
A solid wood handle (walnut, oak or black oak), a stainless steel ferrule and bristles made of recyclable PET.
How big is the brush?
The overall length is 17 cm. The bristles are 5 cm long and 2.2 cm wide.
Can I put the brush in the dishwasher?
No. Normcore recommends brushing out dry coffee grounds after use and keeping the wooden handle dry, without soaking and without the dishwasher.
How does it differ from the Normcore Bench Cleaning Brush?
The Bench Cleaning Brush has a wider brush head and, according to Normcore, is designed to sweep larger surfaces such as the work surface, grinder area and tamping station more quickly. The cleaning brush is the smaller detail brush.
Can I see the product before buying?
In our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) we show a large selection, but not the entire range. Drop us a short note at [email protected] before your visit and we will check whether the product you are after is currently on site.
Tip from the roastery: For dense, sweet espresso we like to reach for Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight. If you like full body without acidity, go for Very Nutty, and as a fruity addition Wild Peach. This is our recommendation, one of many.
