So, if you're in the habit of multi-tasking in the kitchen and occasionally forget about your grinder working its magic while you scurry around, this feature is your best ally.

There might be times when your reliable grinder seemingly starts acting like an indignant toddler, refusing to cooperate when you need your caffeine fix. You hit the power button with no response. Well, nine times out of ten, the safety interlock switch is your villain. Don't worry; it's not a bad thing. In fact, it's your grinder's way of telling you something is amiss.

Solutions and Tips for Keeping the Safety Interlock Switch Happy
