How do I remove grout around kitchen/bath tile?

I want to re-grout my kitchen counters and assume I need to remove the existing grout. What is the best/most efficient tool? And is there a better/best way to re-grout?

There are actually grout removing tools you can find at the hardware store or online.
this is an inexpensive manual one which works well for smaller jobs

I prefer an electric one for larger jobs like this one from amazon

They made a tool to remove grout (looks something like a box cutter) hardware stores have them. After you scrape the grout out & you don’t have to remove all of it. Vacuum & clean all of the removed grout & dust before you replace with new grout. Always seal the grout afterwards.
