if the face is as easily removed from the rytm as it is from the digitakt, I don’t see any advantage to cleaning the buttons only through the face and leaving coffee on the board.
Someones removed the face, search google, last I recall there was something here or on reddit or flickr dedicated to pictures of disassembled Elektron devices, I bet you can check it out and do a more thorough job. last thing you want to do is leave it and let that macchiatto go to waste, make sure you lick the whole thing clean.
with dt the face is held to the board behind the scenes, you just need 2 different size hex or torx. the only trick is aligning them when you reassemble so no buttons touch the button holes on the face plate but theres a trick if you aren’t patient enough to eyeball it. take pieces of like a business card and wedge them between the outermost buttons of all corners before tightening, then tighten halfway from behind. Remove the card bits and check all buttons go in without contact, and then adjust as necessary.
