I hand wash my KA grinder attachment. The CS parts, basically the cutter
blade and hole plate have never been a problem to clean by hand and no
brush has ever been needed for the hole plate. When you wash it out
shortly after use the gook washes out just fine under running water. I
also never oil those parts either, I just shake off most of the water
and then let them air dry. No rust anywhere. The whole cleaning process
only takes 5 or 6 minutes.
