    JMHO,
    I wouldn’t use that tool with the serrated edge. For now stick with pipe cleaners, a standard CHEAP, 3 in 1 Czech tool works great. Tamper, rounded scoop, and a short poker.

    Later when they need a real deep clean and there’s cake built up. I’ll suggest a reaming set, that’s always worked perfect for me. But that’s for down the line a while. You can get a set, or wait till needed. I’ll get mine out and show you, if you’d like.

    If you don't mind, that would be great, as I can't picture a reamer as wide as a bowl, but have seen them for the shank (?) And stem.

    Went with the reamer pictured as I was ordering from Amazon anyway, and I like that it's a single, adjustable tool. No pieces to lose or have rattling around in my draw for years, plus it could be adjusted to leave a bit of the buildup in place, as it's my understanding that it helps protect the bowl, and keeps it cooler.
