A little kitchen trick

Hello, everyone.
DH and I like to make our coffee from freshly ground beans. We have a little grinder to do this. Over time, ground up bean dust drifts throughout the space under the cover.

The little grinder.
This morning there was a visible brown dust coat on the inside of the base. Problem: the base cannot be immersed in water. I have tried using an old toothbrush--we keep one by the sink for these kinds of jobs--and it didn't work. The bristles point the wrong way to reach into the recess the grinding cup sits in.

Enter the general purpose duster of small nooks and spaces. (A little brush for cleaning sewing machines would also work, if one had a spare that could get coffee grounds in the bristles. It probably won't be usable on the sewing equipment any more, though.)

I turned the base upside down over the kitchen sink and dusted the recess with the paintbrush.

Success!
