If coffee ground static gets on your nerves as much as it does mine, you’re going to love this trick.
James Hoffmann, World Barista Champion and author of the World Coffee Atlas (an incredible book), released a video demonstrating how to eliminate coffee ground static that occurs when you grind your coffee.
My primary grinder, the incredible Baratza Virtuoso, is notorious for creating a lot of static and sometimes causes my coffee counter to be quite dirty.
This trick fixed the issue in no time. I’ve been doing this for the last two weeks, and my counter has never been cleaner.
Here’s the video, which first appeared on JimSeven, James Hoffmann’s blog.
