    An update. Static was indeed the issue. An electrical engineer friend advised me to earth the grounds bin against the stainless steel part of my cooker. I did this before grinding, and after each batch. It worked! Thank you, Andrew

    I wonder if I was to line the grounds bin with aluminium foil, that might negate the static. Off to ask a physicist ... ๐Ÿ™‚

    PS I have fired the same question to Baratza on their Facebook page

    Sorry @BlackCatCoffee, you came in before I had posted the final part: the medium roast which is the bean I have the particular issue with, and why I grind the higher roast first :)

    Grinding the medium (less high) roast beans. I ground a single batch: the photo shows the grounds bin after that batch had been emptied. The medium roast beans produce far more chaff, to the point where I put off grinding beans. I need to change something. My spouse likes the resulting...

    Grinding the higher roast beans. I ground three batches: the photos show the grounds bin after the first and third batches had been emptied. My assumption is the static builds after each use. Please don't ask why I bring batches; that isn't the issue.

    Okey doke. More photos from me grinding beans earlier today. Topmost beans are a higher roast; I am referring to the lower beans as medium roast (the higher roast have a glossy quality)

    PS I will be grinding more beans tomorrow, I will take a couple more photos

    Thank you both. To clarify the chaff in the photo isn't spillage from using the machine; it is from knocking out the grounds bin into a container (which I place in that small sink). Static is very much an issue with this machine, although the product information sheet states the grounds bin has...

    Hello, novice here who would appreciate your advice please. The only burr grinder I have ever used is my Baratza 'Virtuoso'. I buy beans in both high roast (for me) and medium roast (spouse), and grind on the most coarse setting (40) for cafetiรจre/French press. Grinding the medium roast...
  11. Coffee Beans
    An interesting topic, thank you, and highly relevant to me. I am not particularly knowledgeable about coffee. Spouse and I drink cafetiere/French press coffee in the morning, which I grind using a Baratza Virtuoso (clockwork timer model) on the most coarse setting. I have been buying beans...
