You’ll need to use the Ross Droplet Technique that James Hoffmann made popular. 💡 Beating static ????

Messy: It makes a bit of a mess when the grounds bin is removed because of static electricity building up.A final benefit (that I kind of expected because I’m a nerd, but you might not) is that you’ll see reference to Baratza’s Encore coffee grinder all over the coffee world. Lots of directions for different brewers (either online or with the included manual) will actually specify grind sizes for the Baratza Encore.
